Summary
Floyd Shivambu has been dismissed as secretary-general of South Africa’s uMkhonto weSizwe (MK) party after attending an Easter service at the church of controversial Malawian pastor Shepherd Bushiri, who faces fraud charges and fled South Africa. The MK party stated that Shivambu’s actions were against its constitution, although he remains a member and will represent MK in the National Assembly. Shivambu accepted the decision and previously faced criticism for praising Bushiri, who has a history of alleged exploitation of vulnerable individuals.
