NFP KwaZulu-Natal chairperson Cynthia Mbali Shinga says the dispute with the party’s national leadership has escalated, adding that she may turn to the courts. She frames her stance as “the gloves are off,” and warns she will challenge candidate-selection decisions through legal means.
The claim comes against the backdrop of an internal NFP power struggle. The reporting describes a rift between regional leadership in KwaZulu-Natal and the party’s national structures over how candidates are chosen, with Shinga asserting her position as the dispute intensifies.
