ANC Secures Resounding Victory in Msunduzi Ward 2 By-Election

The African National Congress (ANC) has emerged victorious in the Ward 2 by-election in Msunduzi, Pietermaritzburg, KwaZulu-Natal, securing 1,602 votes and reaffirming its dominance in the region. The by-election was triggered by the dismissal of Babashani Ntuli, a former Inkatha Freedom Party (IFP) councillor, over allegations of misconduct.

The ANC’s closest challenger, the newly formed MK Party, garnered 1,164 votes, while the IFP managed a distant third place with 344 votes, reflecting a decline in its support.

MK Party Hampered by Internal Divisions

The MK Party’s campaign was marred by factional disputes, with two rival groups supporting different candidates: Sthabiso Nkabinde and Nkosikhona Mshengu. The split undermined the party’s efforts, with Mshengu’s supporters ultimately campaigning alongside the ANC. They argued that Mshengu was the community’s preferred candidate but was sidelined in favor of Nkabinde, further exacerbating tensions within the party.

Analysts suggest that the MK Party’s failure to present a united front cost them a real chance at victory. “Factionalism within the MK Party diluted their campaign, making it difficult to appeal to a broader electorate,” said political commentator Sipho Dlamini.

ANC Celebrates Grassroots Support

For the ANC, the win signals strong grassroots backing despite ongoing governance and service delivery challenges in Msunduzi Municipality. ANC leaders celebrated the result, expressing gratitude to the community and pledging to prioritize pressing local issues. “This victory is a testament to the trust the people have in the ANC. We are committed to addressing their concerns with urgency,” an ANC spokesperson stated.

IFP Struggles to Rebuild Trust

The IFP’s lackluster performance reflects the fallout from the Ntuli scandal, which damaged the party’s reputation in the ward. Party insiders acknowledged the need for rebuilding trust and revitalizing their local support base.

Broader Implications

The by-election highlighted the importance of organizational unity and strategic campaigning in South Africa’s shifting political landscape. While the ANC consolidated its position, the MK Party faces a critical test of its ability to recover from internal discord and remain a credible opposition force.

Residents of Ward 2 now turn their attention to the ANC’s governance, with hopes that the party will deliver on its promises to improve service delivery and address the municipality’s challenges. Meanwhile, the MK Party must confront its internal divisions to strengthen its position ahead of future electoral contests.
