Renowned political analyst Goolam recently took to Twitter to expose the escalating turmoil within the Jacob Zuma-aligned MK Party.

In a series of tweets, Goolam highlighted the party's descent into chaos, revealing deep-rooted infighting and the emergence of conflicting factions.

According to Goolam, the party is currently split into factions, each represented by a spokesperson. Nhlamulo Ndlela represents one faction, while Sidwell Masilela speaks for the other. The situation is further exacerbated as each faction releases contradictory statements, indicating a severe lack of unity within the party.



Furthermore, the announced convenors for the provinces are facing widespread rejection, intensifying the internal strife. Goolam describes the atmosphere as "all-out war," with members fiercely vying for positions rather than focusing on policy, principles, or service delivery.

Comments on Goolam's tweets express growing frustration with the state of South African politics. One commenter laments the absence of discussion on critical issues like policy, principles, and service delivery. The sentiment is that political figures, including Zuma, Malema, and Ramaphosa, are embroiled in a juvenile, score-settling playground fight, neglecting the concerns of the impoverished.



Others foresee a turbulent lead-up to the elections, predicting an intense daily spectacle as the Zuma MK stokvel unfolds. Some express concerns about the potential ghastly outcomes, emphasising the need for a focus on policy and the plight of the people.

In my opinion, the revelations about the MK Party's infighting underscore the challenges within South African politics. It is disheartening to witness power struggles overshadowing critical issues that directly impact the lives of citizens. Political leaders should prioritise unity, policy discussions, and service delivery to truly address the needs of the people and foster a more stable and effective political landscape.
