Duduzile Zuma-Sambudla is on a tight leash from her father and uMkhonto weSizwe (MK Party) President Jacob Zuma after she insulted the party's secretary general, Floyd Shivambu on X.
Zuma-Sambudla infamously told Shivambu to f*** off and posted that he is the worst thing that happened to MK Party.
She was swiftly reprimanded for her behaviour on social media, told to apologise immediately and threatened with expulsion if she does not do so. The party's supporters have not taken kindly to the post and have also come out in support of Shivambu, claiming that Zuma-Sambudla is not well-versed in politics and is a beneficiary of nepotism.
"Duduzile Zuma has no political education. She's going to destroy all the work that has went into building the MK Party. She thinks the party is some family stokvel. Wait and see," reacted X user, MbawoLive.

Nala Thokozane added her two cents, saying,"Duduzile Zuma is no politician; she is enjoying her father's hard labour with that Parliamentary MK Party gig."

"We are not confused. Floyd Shivambu will lead the MK Party. They failed to tarnish his image, and they will fail to infiltrate us," posted Patricia Bantom.

Mxolisi Thango also commented: "Duduzile, because President Jacob Zuma is your father doesn't make you better than everyone, you're not MK Party, you're a member like all of us. Stop destroying the MK Party."

Bafana Surprise claimed that her actions proved that Shivambu wasted his political career by joining the political party.
"Duduzile Zuma, a daughter to Jacob Zuma, is bringing total disruption in the MK party, by bossing People around. The MK party is a stockvel, just like the EFF. Floyd Shivambu wasted his career by joining the MK, now Duduzile gets to remind him that he will never be accepted!"
