The ANC has suffered a significant setback in KwaZulu-Natal, losing four of its six branches in recent by-elections held in the uMzumbe local municipality. This area is notably the home turf of ANC provincial chairman, Siboniso Duma. The losses come amid internal turmoil, highlighted by a rebellion from seven councilors, which led to their resignations. Four of these dissenters subsequently joined former President Jacob Zuma’s MK party. Despite this, the MK Party managed to secure only one of the six contested wards. This series of events reflects the dwindling influence of the ANC in the region. As South Africans look to build a prosperous future, keeping informed remains essential.
