KwaZulu-Natal Premier Thami Ntuli is facing a motion of no confidence in the provincial legislature today, Monday, 15 December 2025, in what is shaping up to be a defining moment for the province’s fragile coalition government.
The motion, tabled by the uMkhonto weSizwe Party (MKP), accuses Ntuli of financial mismanagement and leadership failures since taking office in June 2024. The MKP, now the largest party in the KwaZulu-Natal legislature, says it holds a mandate to govern and is actively lobbying other MPLs to support the motion.
To remove the premier, 41 votes are required. The Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) and the National Freedom Party (NFP) are pledging their support, significantly boosting the opposition’s numbers.
Meanwhile, the Government of Provincial Unity (GPU) — made up of the Inkatha Freedom Party (IFP), Democratic Alliance (DA), African National Congress (ANC) and NFP — insists it is resisting the challenge and defending the current administration.
The IFP Youth Brigade is dismissing the no-confidence bid as political grandstanding that undermines service delivery, as protests and political tensions escalate ahead of the vote.
If the motion succeeds, it topples the premier and reshapes KwaZulu-Natal’s political landscape, placing coalition politics in the province under intense scrutiny.
