A South African politician has been arrested after police found an illegal firearm in his home in northern KwaZulu-Natal. Kwenzakakufani Nxumalo, the Speaker of the IFP-led Uphongolo Local Municipality, was taken into custody following the discovery. The arrest has drawn attention due to Nxumalo’s prominent role in local government and his position as Principal of Mlimisi Primary School in the same region.

Police reports indicate that officers acted on intelligence and searched Nxumalo’s residence, where they uncovered the illegal weapon. Authorities have not disclosed specifics about the firearm or how it came into his possession but stressed that illegal firearm possession is a serious crime under South African law.

Nxumalo remains in custody and is expected to appear in court soon to face charges. The incident has sparked concerns among residents and political figures, particularly given his dual roles in government and education. His position as a school principal has raised questions about the broader implications for community trust in public officials.

The arrest also highlights ongoing challenges with gun control and illegal firearms in South Africa. Despite efforts to reduce the circulation of unlawful weapons, cases like this underscore persistent issues.

As the case unfolds, Nxumalo’s arrest has prompted discussions about the integrity of local officials and potential illegal activities within political spheres. Authorities have assured the public that the matter will be treated seriously, with legal consequences to follow.

The IFP, Nxumalo’s political party, has not yet commented on the arrest but is expected to monitor developments as the case proceeds.
