Meet the Kingmaker: The Sole Female Provincial Chair in KZN’s Coalition Politics | News24

Mbali Shinga, the newly appointed KwaZulu-Natal MEC for Social Development, is also the provincial chair of the National Freedom Party (NFP). In just six months, Shinga has ascended to one of the most powerful positions in the province, a significant turnaround given the internal political turmoil within the NFP that nearly ended her political career last year. Shinga’s role as a Member of the Provincial Legislature seemed threatened when the Electoral Commission of South Africa (IEC) banned the NFP from future elections. Her political journey reflects the volatile and rapidly changing nature of political landscapes, where fortunes can dramatically shift within a short span. Reflecting broader narratives about resilience and political acumen, Shinga’s story is a reminder of the ever-evolving dynamics within South African politics.
