The MK Party has announced plans for a mass march in KwaZulu-Natal in response to a motion of no confidence against Premier Thami Ntuli. The party says the action reflects growing community frustration over service delivery, corruption and accountability, adding pressure to the unfolding political battle in the province.
The MK Party has called for a mass march in KwaZulu-Natal as political tension builds around a motion of no confidence in Premier Thami Ntuli. The party says the public mobilisation will show widespread frustration with governance issues in the province and support for greater accountability from elected leaders.
The planned demonstration comes amid mounting political pressure on Premier Ntuli, whose leadership has been criticised by opposition parties and civil society groups for perceived failures in service delivery and governance. The MK Party says the march will give voice to ordinary residents affected by what it describes as chronic service backlogs, corruption and lack of transparency.
In a statement, the party said it has received strong feedback from communities across the province who feel their concerns are not being addressed by current provincial leadership. The march is being positioned as a peaceful expression of collective dissatisfaction and a call for political change.
Premier Ntuli and his office have yet to formally respond to the planned mobilisation, but allies within the governing coalition have defended his record, saying he has worked to stabilise provincial administration and implement reforms in key sectors including health, education and infrastructure.
Political analysts say the call for mass mobilisation reflects deepening contestation ahead of the motion of no confidence, which is expected to be tabled in the provincial legislature. Such motions, while largely symbolic if not backed by sufficient numbers, can nevertheless signal serious political fractures and potentially trigger leadership change.
The MK Party’s stance also highlights broader discontent in parts of KwaZulu-Natal, where service delivery protests, labour disputes and fiscal concerns have become fixtures of local political life. The party has urged residents to participate peacefully and to respect democratic norms as the province navigates this contentious period.
