The ANC confirmed continued full support for the coalition government involving the IFP and DA in KwaZulu-Natal.

Challenges within the NFP are viewed as temporary and have not altered the ANC’s stance on the Government of Provincial Unity.

Ambiguity surrounds Mbali Shinga’s position as Social Development MEC following her expulsion and court proceedings.

The NFP is preparing to replace Shinga with its president Ivan Barnes and backs a motion to remove Premier Ntuli.

We are still part of the GPU and we have not taken a decision that suggests otherwise. The NFP problem is just a sparkle and what is happening is not unique to KwaZulu-Natal, it happens everywhere... so is the nature of coalitions.
