## Resource

MKP MP Edward Ntshingila’s death has ignited a bitter feud within the party, as former spokesperson Nhlamulo Ndhlela and Duduzile Zuma-Sambudla claim they were barred from his funeral — allegedly threatened with removal if they attended. The rift stems from family divisions, with Ntshingila’s maternal relatives backing Zuma-Sambudla and Ndhlela’s presence, while whispers suggest Zuma-Sambudla overstepped in personal matters and Ndhlela spread unverified rumors about Ntshingila’s illness. Ndhlela insists he and Zuma-Sambudla attended anyway, condemning the politicization of their friend’s passing, though party communications head Sipho Tyira denies ever relaying such a message. Ntshingila’s cousin Pule Kubheka stepped in to defend both, confirming their attendance and slamming politicians for weaponizing family disputes — a stark reminder that factional battles within the MKP are far from over, even after a veteran’s death.
