The daughter of uMkhonto weSizwe (MK) party leader Jacob Zuma has publicly apologised over her profanity-laden posts, which were directed at party secretary-general Floyd Shivambu on X on Monday.

Duduzile Zuma-Sambudla apologised yesterday after Zuma instructed her to apologise or face expulsion from the party.

Zuma-Sambudla turned on Shivambu on Monday, responding to X posts that were praising Shivambu.

"Floyd, I'm not scared of you. Tell your minions to f**k off... Bloody mafikizolos," she posted.

But, yesterday, she sang a different tune.

"As a committed and disciplined member of the uMkhonto weSizwe party, I hereby extend this unconditional public apology to president Zuma and the uMkhonto weSizwe party leadership for the profanity used in my recent posts on X," she said.

"My profanity was not and should not be a reflection of the revolutionary discipline, respect and solidarity that our organisation upholds."
