Without naming her, former MK Party secretary-general Floyd Shivambu took shots at his political party nemesis, Duduzile Zuma-Sambudla, whom he has accused of taking drugs.
The shock comment was made during a briefing on Thursday, 19 June.
In February, Duduzile was forced to apologise over her foul-mouthed X rant directed at Floyd.
FLOYD SHIVAMBU ACCUSES DUDUZILE OF TAKING DRUGS?
During the surprise briefing, Floyd Shivambu addressed several topics, including an interest in possibly establishing his own political party.
The former MK Party Secretary-General also used the opportunity to making shady comments about being members of the ANC, which he claimed was “run by scoundrels” and the EFF, which he labelled a “cult”.
Referring to his own party, Floyd Shivambu made a comment many believe was directed at Duduzile Zuma-Sambudla, the daughter of the founder, Jacob Zuma.
He said, “When you raise issues internally, you don’t need to gossip about them anywhere. All the issues and concerns I had about MK, I raised internally, even against all odds. When there is an opportunity to raise an issue about wrongdoings. I clearly speak against untouchables who take drugs, tweet at night, and insult us.”
He added: “We confront them and say ‘What is this about?’”
Former MK Party Secretary-General Floyd Shivambu says he always speaks out against the untouchables, “People who take drugs, tweet at night and insult us.”

In February, Duduzile apologised to MK Party members over an expletive-ridden X rant, in which she tagged Floyd Shivambu.
In it, she called out Floyd for not being a founding member of the MK Party, which he joined after ditching the EFF.
Floyd has since been stripped of his position as MK Party’s Secretary General after he bragged about visiting Prophet Shepard Bushiri.
‘PARTY ANIMAL’
Floyd Shivambu is not the only person who has hinted about Duduzile Zuma Sambudla’s alleged drug use.
The X account @Goolam – known for its controversial political views – claimed that Dudu was known as a “party animal” and frequented
Posting about her bitter 2017 split from husband Lonwabo Sambudla, the account tweeted: “She lives in a house worth R20 Million. She lives an extremely extravagant lifestyle. The 42-year-old Duduzile is a regular fixture at top nightclubs around Sandton. She is a party animal.
“She allegedly spends hundreds of thousands of rands at these venues ordering bottles of champagne and other alcoholic beverages. Many allegations of her and cocaine, but that’s a story for another day”.
Meet the most dangerous women in South African history who was also one of the masterminds of July Riots, DUDUZILE ZUMA. Duduzile was born on 20 May 1982 in Maputo, Mozambique.

In 2021, Duduzile Zuma-Sambudla was accused of encouraging the July unrest, where properties and stores around the country were looted, vandalised, and torched. During the period, over 70 people are reported to have died in violent confrontations.
The daughter of the former president retweeted several videos of the violence, which was a direct reaction to her father’s incarceration on contempt-of-court charges shortly before.

Duduzile was later charged with contravening the Protection of Constitutional Democracy against Terrorist and Related Activities Act (POCDATARA) and incitement to commit violence.
She will appear in the Durban High Court again on 14 August.
