Duduzile mocks Floyd Shivambu with TikTok after MP snub?
This comes just days after the former secretary-general hosted a press conference in which he accused her of 'taking drugs'.
Floyd also criticised his allegience to former political parties, the EFF – which he labelled a 'cult', and the ANC, which he claimed was run by 'scoundrels'.
Earlier this month, Floyd Shivambu was demoted as secretary-general after the MK Party condemned his visit to Prophet Shepard Bushiri, a fugitive.
At the time, Floyd stated that he would remain a party member and would now be redeployed as an MP. However, the MK Party seemingly halted his plans after announcing a list of incoming MPs that excluded him. The new members will be sworn into parliament this week.
Floyd has not directly responded to the news. However, he has continued to promote news of a new political party he hopes to establish.
On his X account, the outspoken politician retweeted a post that compared him to MK Party president, Jacob Zuma.
It read: 'When Zuma started his own political party, he faced the same insults and ridicule that Floyd Shivambu is enduring today…We've seen this movie before… and in less than five months, we came out with 14% of the vote.'
Meanwhile, Jacob Zuma's daughter Duduzile has seemingly responded to Floyd Shivambu's plans with a shady social media post.
On her Instagram Story, the MK Party MP reposted an old TikTok video in which she lip-synced the words to the song 'Too Little, Too Late' by US artist Jojo. @duduzumasambudla 'It's Just Too Little Too Late …' #BathroomConcerts ♬ original sound – jimmy ryan
A day after Floyd's press conference, Duduzile also clapped back with a suggestive post.
On her IG Story, she posted a clip of her laughing alongside EFF leader, Julius Malema.
'It's politics after all', she captioned the clip. Image via Instagram: @duduzilezuma_sambudla

Ash-ley Ogle and Lasizwe dominate nominations for the 2025 South African Social Media Awards
The South African Social Media Awards 2025 nominees have been announced, featuring Ash-ley Ogle and Lasizwe Dambuza as leading contenders. Image: Instagram The South African Social Media Awards (SASMAs) are back for 2025, and they have officially dropped their nominees list with the spotlight on former "Big Brother Mzansi" star Ash-ley Ogle and media personality, Lasizwe Dambuza. The two personalities have been making their mark in the digital space and are now leading this year's pack with three nominations each. Dambuza, one of South Africa's most recognisable online creators, is nominated in three major categories: African Social Media Star of the Year, where he is competing with artists such as Tyla and Black Coffee. He is also nominated in the Most Popular Content Across Platforms and Social Media Personality of the Year. The 27-year-old content creator has been tickling the funnybone for years, when he started with his comedic skits on Facebook. He has maintained his bold online presence, which has kept him at the top of the digital entertainment scene for years. Ogle has built her own empire since her "Big Brother Mzansi" season five days. Even though she left the show just four weeks in, she built one of the most loyal fan bases to come out of the franchise. This year, she is nominated for Emerging Personality of the Year, Best Social Media Newcomer, and Most Popular Hashtag of the Year. During her time inside the "Big Brother" house, #AshleyOgle was one of the hashtags that dominated social media and was quite popular. She is up against some familiar faces, including her former "Big Brother Mzansi" housemates, Yolanda, Mshini Lekwadu, as well as Sweet Guluva. Beyond nominations, Ogle's rise has been nothing short of impressive. In the past year, she has bagged endorsements with a luxury car dealership and has become an ambassador for DJ Zinhle's Era brand.

Indian High Commission in Pretoria Celebrates 79th Independence Day, Showcasing Strong India–South Africa Partnership
Masabata Mkwananzi | Updated 4 hours ago The High Commission of India in South Africa celebrated India's 79th Independence Day on 15 August 2025 with patriotic pride, cultural vibrancy, and renewed emphasis on strengthening the India–South Africa partnership. The day's events brought together diplomats, South African dignitaries, parliamentarians, and the Indian diaspora in Pretoria, underscoring the enduring friendship between the two nations. The celebrations began with the hoisting of the tricolour at India House, where around 200 members of the Indian community and friends of India gathered to pay tribute to the nation's freedom fighters. Later in the day, the High Commission hosted a National Day Reception at the chancery. The Honourable Minister of Communications and Digital Technologies, H.E. Solly Malatsi, graced the occasion as the chief guest, representing the Government of South Africa. The South African National Defence Force's National Ceremonial Guard Band captivated the audience with stirring renditions of Indian and South African patriotic songs, setting the tone for an evening of camaraderie and pride. Welcoming the gathering, India's High Commissioner to South Africa, H.E. Prabhat Kumar, reflected on India's remarkable economic journey. 'From a USD 270 billion economy three decades ago to USD 4 trillion today, India now stands as the world's fourth-largest economy. By 2047, when we celebrate 100 years of independence, India aims to become a USD 30–35 trillion economy. We invite South Africa to be a key partner in this journey,' he said. Ambassador Kumar emphasised that India and South Africa's friendship is rooted in a shared struggle against colonial oppression, inspired by leaders like Mahatma Gandhi and Nelson Mandela. He highlighted ongoing collaborations in digital technology, defence, and energy, as well as thriving people-to-people connections. Bilateral trade has already reached USD 18 billion, making South Africa India's leading trading partner in Africa. He also noted recent milestones in cooperation, including agreements between Eskom and Tata Power, the Gandhi–Mandela Centre of Specialisation in Pretoria providing skills to South African youth, growing defence engagements such as the IBSAMAR maritime exercise, and expanding cultural and tourism exchanges. In his keynote address, Minister Malatsi praised India's achievements and enduring spirit. He began by extending condolences to the people of India for the recent tragic aircraft crash. Reflecting on history, he noted: 'It was here in South Africa that Gandhi refined satyagraha, the philosophy of non-violent resistance, which later inspired Nelson Mandela. These ideals continue to guide our nations in pursuing justice, dignity, and equality.' The minister highlighted India's leadership in technology, space exploration, and innovation. 'India's expertise enriches our bilateral relations, particularly in digital technology and infrastructure, which hold the promise of new opportunities and the hope of improving the lives of millions of South Africans,' he said. The celebration concluded with traditional Indian cultural performances and cuisine, fostering a spirit of cultural exchange and friendship. Closing the evening, Ambassador Kumar affirmed: 'Together, India and South Africa are amplifying the voice of the Global South and building a future of shared prosperity.'
