ANC Politics, News & Coalition Battles in Zululand

The ANC is always at the center of South African politics, especially in Zululand where power plays, scandals, and shifting alliances keep everyone on their toes. Whether you've followed the party for years or you just want to keep up with what’s happening locally, sticking to the headlines won’t cut it. We’re breaking down the latest ANC stories, how the big decisions affect people in Zululand, and what's happening behind closed doors.

Right now, the ANC is juggling coalition drama and public pressure after hot-button firings and corruption accusations. President Cyril Ramaphosa’s move to let go of DA's Andrew Whitfield as trade deputy stirred more than just political circles. It sparked a public standoff, with the DA demanding that Ramaphosa also address the elephant in the room—ANC ministers with corruption allegations hovering over them. People are asking: Will the president really drop scandal-hit ministers, or will the party close ranks?

This kind of tension isn’t just politics as usual. When coalition partners are at each other's throats, it’s not just drama for TV. Decisions on the national budget, appointments, and service delivery hang in the balance. For Zululand, good governance feels especially important, considering the unique challenges faced by local communities. Education, jobs, and safety are on the line, and who’s calling the shots in Pretoria can have serious knock-on effects.

Over the years, the ANC has faced criticism for letting corruption slide, but the party also has a strong history in Zululand’s struggle for equality and jobs. Grassroots supporters are torn—they want accountable leaders, but they still believe the party can deliver on its promises. People here don’t just watch national politics as outsiders. Local branches are active, activists speak out, and debates about what’s right for the region repeatedly pop up on radio and in community meetings.

The coalition story is far from over. Will the DA’s threats work? Will Ramaphosa stick to party loyalty, or set a new bar for clean governance? As moves are made and statements fly, keep an eye on the impact at home. Policy decisions, coalition deals, and ANC power struggles are about more than seats in parliament—they filter down to the services you get, the schools your kids attend, and the sense of accountability in your community.
