Political shuffle: MK Party poised to swap one Zuma daughter for another

The Umkhonto Wesizwe (MK) Party looks set to trade one of leader Jacob Zuma’s daughters for another as it once again seeks to fill vacant seats in Parliament.

While the party will not confirm reports of the changes, it is believed Zuma’s daughter Brumelda Zuma will fill the seat of her half-sister, Duduzile, who resigned last week.

Duduzile’s resignation followed a scandal involving sending South African men to Russia under false pretences to fight in its war with Ukraine.

Parliament has confirmed that the party has requested that new members be sworn in, but says no date has yet been set for this.

EWN has seen communication purportedly from the party’s head office that indicates four seats are to be filled.
