Reacting to his return, this is what X users said:
@g_mapaya: “I trust you Duduzane to not let EFF members take over the MK. Submit or fight commander.”
@Markosonke1: “I can’t wait for the big announcement.”
@katlegolesaoma1: “Happy New Year to you too the incoming SG of MKP or (are) we erecting this Ndlela guy??? Because Floyd is gonna collapse your family legacy my guy so please wake up and claim what is rightfully yours…”
@Mesuli_Mlandu: “Let us welcome you. Politics aside. You are duly welcomed. You will tell when you are ready to confirm if you will be joining the MKP and replacing @FloydShivambu as the SG, or (if) it is just a rumour.”
Meanwhile, last year, it was reported that Duduzane was being primed to join the MK Party and assume a leadership role. However, the MK Party rejected any suggestions that he would join the party, describing it as pure speculation.
Duduzane formed the All Game Changers (AGC) party before the elections. But a month before the ballot, the party was removed from the national list by the Electoral Commission of South Africa, one reason being a lack of compliance with the registration processes.
AGC aimed to address some of the challenges faced, especially by youth. While the party was not discriminative of any age group, gender, race or religious background, their main focus was young people as they are an important factor in the growth of society.
