MK's Ndhlela ready for drug test after spat
The Citizen
|June 25, 2025
The uMkhonto we Sizwe (MK) party spokesperson, Nhlamulo Ndhlela, says he is willing to take a drug test to prove he is not an addict.
This comes after the party's former secretary-general, Floyd Shivambu, told eNCA on Monday that Ndhlela is always high on drugs and alcohol.
Shivambu also described Ndhlela as a "scoundrel", a "fool" and an "imbecile", who is part of the people who are leading a smear campaign against him.
"Unfortunately, he [Nhlamulo] is always on drugs and high on alcohol in terms of how he deals with issues. This is what we are dealing with every day.
"He will even take pride that he is going to tell lies to president Zuma about me," he said.
However, Ndhlela denied these allegations. "These are all lies, and I am willing to take a drug test to prove that this is not true."
