Political parties in KwaZulu-Natal's Government of Provincial Unity say the withdrawal of the National Freedom Party will not collapse their coalition. The provincial's coalition government was formed after the 2024 general elections, consisting of the IFP, DA, ANC and the NFP.  The NFP announced its withdrawal from coalition government and further instructed its sole representative, Mbali Shinga, to resign as the KZN Member of the Executive Council. This after Shinga defied party orders during the December vote of no confidence against Premier Thami Ntuli. The vote of no confidence was brought forth by the uMkhonto weSizwe Party. For a look at what the NFP's exit means for the province's political landscape, Bongiwe Zwane spoke to IFP leader, Velenkosini Hlabisa
