The statement Mbalula posted slammed Zuma. The party accused Msholozi of the highest form of ill-discipline and a direct assault on the party's historical mission. It added that he abandoned the core values of organisational loyalty and collective accountability by establishing a rival political party, the MK Party, which is the official opposition.
