DURBAN - The leader of the uMkhonto weSizwe (MK) Party, Jacob Zuma, said that the decision to remove Floyd Shivambu as secretary-general was partly made as a sign of respect to the party's voters.
 
On Tuesday, the party announced that it would be redeploying Shivambu to Parliament and that he would no longer form part of top leadership.
 
Zuma said that many people wrote to the party about Shivambu attending a church service of the wanted fugitive Shepherd Bushiri during Easter.
 
He said that the decision would not cause any issues within the party.
 
"We have taken that decision and there’s nothing wrong, we were just saying this is what was supposed to be. We also looked at what this has done to our rules."
