IQEMBU loMkhonto Wesizwe (MK) libukeka libhekene nezinxushunxushu zangaphakathi, ikakhulukazi KwaZulu-Natal, lapho amanye amalungu ephumele obala ngokungeneliseki ngoNobhala Jikelele uFloyd Shivhambu. Nokho, uShivhambu ukuchithile ukuthi kunezi nxushunxushu ngaphakathi wabiza laba abamgxekayo “njengamagwala asaba ukuziveza,” ethi abakaze baveze ukukhathazeka kwabo emihlanganweni yeqembu esemthethweni.
UShivhambu usamile ekutheni iqembu lihlale libumbene, nobuholi buhambisana ekuqiniseni izinhlaka zenhlangano. Amazwi akhe aphakamisa ukwenqaba ukuvuma ukungaboni ngaso linye kwangaphakathi, akubeke njengesiyaluyalu esingenasiszinda esikhundleni sokugxeka okusemthethweni.
Lesi simo singakhombisa ukuhlukana okujulile phakathi kwe-MK Party, ikakhulukazi uma ukunganeliseki kuqhubeka phakathi kwamalungu aphansi. Ukuthi ubuholi bubhekana kanjani nalokhu kungezwani—kungaba ngezingxoxo noma ngokuxoshwa—kungase kube nomthelela ekubumbaneni kweqembu ngaphambi kokhetho oluzayo.
