The move has sparked discussions about the party’s image as a family business, yet party leaders insist that Brumelda’s credentials and activist background stand on their own.

Chief whip Colleen Makhubele defended the appointment, emphasising Brumelda’s qualifications and her commitment to the party’s vision and political mandate.

“Yes, Brumelda is President Zuma’s daughter. She has got a degree in public administration and is an activist in her own right and she has been doing a lot of work since the inception of our MK Party to be what it is today,’ Makhubele said.
