Cape Town – MK Party member Dali Mpofu has said that Duduzile Zuma-Sambudla, daughter of party leader Jacob Zuma, will not receive special treatment in disciplinary matters.
Despite her high-profile status, Mpofu said that the party’s rules apply equally to all members.
Zuma-Sambudla faced backlash for criticising MK Party secretary-general Floyd Shivambu on social media, leading to an apology and impending disciplinary action.
“I cannot prejudge the issue before it comes to us. But what I know is that whatever would’ve provoked the president’s office to issue a statement means there was a concern. So, but the time it comes a complaint from a member, any member is free to complain by the way, or being referred to by the high structures, either way, we will deal with it like any other member,” Mpofu said during an interview with SABC News.

He added: “We cannot treat her (Zuma-Sambudla) differently by changing the rules. For example, jumping in before the processes have happened. She must be treated like any other member.
“I think that if anybody is watching this, you can be sure that former president Zuma has made it clear that there are no members that are going to be treated differently.”
