# Former MK Party secretary-general Bongani Mncwango has joined the Inkatha Freedom Party following his removal last month. Mncwango who replaced Afrika Mayibuye Movement president Floyd Shivambu in August 2025 was axed after serving less than a year, amid a leadership reshuffle that saw Sibonelo Nomvalo take over the role. Mncwango’s move marks another shift in South Africa’s evolving political landscape ahead of the local government elections later this year.
