Is this why Mchunu left the DA?
Durban - An alleged fight between the KwaZulu-Natal DA leader Zwakele Mncwango and his predecessor, Sizwe Mchunu, who earlier this week surprised many when he defected to the ANC, is believed to be the source of the exit of the latter.
The tensions later came to the fore when Mncwango took on Mchunu for the position of provincial leader and beat him by only five votes during a conference held in 2015 in Richards Bay. Immediately after taking over, Mncwango started to assert his presence only to find Mchunu felt it was undoing his long legacy as the first black provincial leader of the party.
One insider said this not only became an issue of black leaders fighting each other but also involved their white and Indian supporters in the party, hence Mchunu left with three DA councillors from uMsunduzi .
