Former uMkhonto weSizwe (MK) Party Parliamentarian Colleen Makhubele’s next role has reportedly been revealed hours after she resigned as a legislator and quit the party led by former President Jacob Zuma.
On Monday, 23 February 2026, Makhubele sparked mixed reactions online after she tendered her resignation from the National Assembly and MK Party. Her resignation came after she was ousted as chief whip of the MK caucus in the National Assembly amid a reported rift between herself, Zuma’s daughter Duduzile Zuma-Sambudla and party spokesperson Nhlamulo Ndhlela.
Just over a day after she tendered her resignation, Colleen Makhubele’s next career destination has been revealed.

In the comments, several MK Party supporters dismissed the update as fake news, while others questioned her alleged new appointment.
Here are some of the comments:
@SesHerself gushed:
“I love a woman who knows how to pivot 😘”
@KgomotsoMalul12 asked:
“To do what exactly?”
@4Inside_Edge questioned:
“Radio built on political slops?”
@Asibonge_M remarked:
“This must be fake news.”
@beauchamp_lord laughed:
“Colleen? Radio? 😂”
@Moss2718 appealed:
“Please @Powerfm987, I am raising my clean hands. Hiring politicians with known political and ideological bias may be detrimental in the long run. The broadcast personnel should be neutral without a known political affiliation to appease the wider audience.”
@AntiCor82757066 suggested:
“Let’s destroy this Power FM stokvel. I have not listened to it since Ndlozi came on board. I will never listen to it ever.”

Mbuyiseni Ndlozi exits Power FM
As Colleen Makhubele reportedly joins Power FM, another former politician is bowing out.
On Tuesday, 17 February 2026, Briefly News reported that Mbuyiseni Ndlozi had confirmed he was leaving his role as the host of PowerTalk on Power FM.
Unlike in Makhubele's case, Power FM took to its official X (Twitter) account and announced Mbuyiseni Ndlozi's replacement after confirming his departure.
Social media users expressed mixed reactions, with some questioning whether the decision to announce a new host had anything to do with Ndlozi's fiery exchange with Paul O'Sullivan. Some questioned whether Ndlozi's successor was the right fit.
