Nomvalo Has Cleared The Air On Forming His Own Political Party, Check Out What He Says

Following his contentious expulsion from the leadership of the uMkhonto weSizwe (MK) party, Sibonelo Nomvalo has denied rumours that he may launch his own political organization, saying that this is not in his plans.

During a press conference in Durban on Friday, 30 October 2026, Nomvalo addressed openly his dismissal and the accusations that surrounded it.

He made these remarks shortly after Jacob Zuma, president of the MK Party, ousted him from his positions as secretary-general and parliamentary structures. His departure has garnered a lot of attention, especially in light of the claims and internal strife that have surfaced since the leadership change.

When asked about his plans for the future of politics, Nomvalo made it plain that he had no intention of starting a new party.

“Forming a political party is not part of my ambitions; it’s a call that can be dictated to by the people on the ground, but it’s not part of my political ambition,” said Nomvalo.

Instead of seeking political office, he said, his interest in politics had always been in helping his community and serving the common people.

Nomvalo claims that his dedication to community service began at a young age, and that he plans to keep making a difference in the world regardless of his political situation.

He went on to mention that he has previously used his law business to fund other community efforts, such as buying shoes for students. “I’ve always been inspired to do community work,” he said. That is why my legal company used to purchase shoes for schoolchildren,” he continued.

Nomvalo said he is still a part of the MK Party even if he has lost his prominent role within it. In light of his statements, it is unlikely that he would soon launch a new political movement or leave the party.

The former secretary-general also addressed what he said were a slew of bogus intelligence reports delivered to Zuma in an effort to tarnish his image and sway the decision to remove him at the briefing.

He denied rumours that he was in any way associated with high-ranking ANC officials like President Cyril Ramaphosa and former health minister Zweli Mkhize.

Claims that Nomvalo and Floyd Shivambu conspired to depose Zuma as MK Party president were also denied by him.

He insisted that Zuma was misled by some of the reports sent to him, including one that purportedly showed an AI-generated picture of him accepting money from Ramaphosa.

Nomvalo was removed from office due to issues with the appointment of councillors, internal factionalism, dual compensation, campaign material delays, and changes in the administration and parliamentary caucus, as previously stated by the MK Party.

As a result, Lindiwe Mtshali was nominated as interim secretary-general by the party to maintain organisational stability.

But Nomvalo has said the accusations that led to his dismissal were false and that he was unjustly singled out.

His most recent remarks have put a new spin on everything going on within the MK Party, especially in regards to his political future and if he plans to move in a different direction away from the party’s leadership structures.

Nomvalo has said that, at this time, running for office is not one of his goals, and he has instead pledged to devote himself to serving his community.
