- The Afrika Mayibuye Movement says Nolubabalo Mcinga met Jacob Zuma without approval and discussed a US$500-billion investment proposal.
- The movement accuses Mcinga of leaking information, defaming leaders and spreading false claims about salaries, housing and VIP protection.
The Afrika Mayibuye Movement has fired its deputy president, Nolubabalo Mcinga, with immediate effect after accusing her of serious organisational misconduct.
The movement’s national officials said the decision was unanimous and aimed at protecting the group’s integrity and unity.
Spokesperson Sydney Baloyi said the leadership acted within its constitution, which allows it to appoint and remove leaders when necessary.
Although Mcinga has lost her leadership role, she remains a member of the movement with full rights and obligations. She now faces disciplinary charges for political and organisational misconduct.
Among the claims against her is that she met former president Jacob Zuma, leader of the uMkhonto weSizwe Party, without authorisation and discussed a US$500-billion investment proposal. Officials say she had no mandate to hold such talks.
She is also accused of holding unauthorised meetings, leaking internal communications, and using a media company to defame the movement’s leaders. Other allegations include misleading colleagues, exaggerating financial figures, and circulating a voice note with profane remarks about senior members.
Mayibuye leaders deny ever promising Mcinga a salary, housing or VIP protection. Baloyi said individual members only helped her personally when she faced financial difficulties.
“The leadership remains resolute in protecting the organisation’s integrity and unity,” said Baloyi. “Discipline will be enforced without fear or favour.”
The movement says it will not comment further as Mcinga faces an internal disciplinary process.
