It’s a family business, Nyiko, and you ain’t family, bro
Ousted MKP secretary-general Floyd Shivambu was delusional to think that the gwaza family business owner Jacob Zuma was gonna choose him over his own daughter.
Shwa could have told Nyiko free of charge to do the honourable thing and resign the moment he was insulted in public by spoilt brat Duduzile Zuma.
She warned that many had tried to come between her and daddy dearest, and failed. Floyd could not read the room that this was a warning shot that he would not survive for long.
Hopefully, now that he has been demoted to Parliament as a back bencher, he must understand his position and stop fighting people who have more power than him.
If he starts nonsense there with Dr John Hlophe, who literally sacrificed his career for Zuma, he will find out again.
Bring the popcorn; there’s more coming…
Darlings, the political tea is piping hot, and Shwashwi’s got the scoop that’s got Mzansi buzzing! Our boy Floyd Shivambu, the MK Party’s former secretary-general, has been redeployed to Parliament, and honey, the streets are talking!
Shivambu has been sent to the National Assembly faster than you can say “twist in the political plot”. The eyebrow-raising trip to Malawi, where our man cozied up to fugitive pastor Shepherd Bushiri at his church has proved costly indeed.
Mara, Floyd, did you think that wouldn’t stir the pot?
Now your sorry arse has to find some comfort in the cold back benches of Parliament.
Take care not to stoke up the fire there while trying to keep warm. Phela we are in the throes of winter.
It might prove to be real cold outside Khongolose afterall.
Shwashwi hears the decision wasn’t just a casual Tuesday memo. The MKP’s national officials called it a “responsible” move, citing accountability to their voters and society. Translation: Floyd’s Malawi escapade didn’t sit well with the big bosses, and they cast him into a political wilderness of sorts with all the perks of overpaid backbenchers!
Sources say the redeployment might also be tied to the internal MKP drama. Yep, the fight with her royal highness wasn’t a real idea now, was it Nyiko, dear?
Shwa’s grabbing more popcorn!
But it seems Floyd, ever the cool cat, has accepted the deployment with a nod to uBaba.
Time to find the fighter within and launch a comeback
Shwa has just observed what happened to Shivambu when he was sacked as the secretary-general of the MK Party by Msholozi.
As it happened before, uBaba once axed Paul Mashatile as a minister of sports, arts and culture, and mo-guy from Alex took a back seat and became a back bencher, then he unleashed the fury to get back to the top or thereabouts. He eventually became the deputy president – not only of the ANC but the country jikelele.
This could also be a temporary setback for Nyiko. All he needs is to work a sweat behind the scenes and come back in full force to take over the camouflage party as
its president.
