Floyd Shivambu is the new secretary-general of MKP

The organisation made the announcement in a statement on Sunday morning saying that Shivambu replaces Sifiso Maseko who resigned from the position last week.

He is returning to his full-time job at the Department of Health in Gauteng.

The former EFF deputy president left the red berets to join Jacob Zuma's political party in August.
