The Truth Is Out On Why Vuyo Zungula Was Removed As ATM President

In a move that has stunned political observers, the African Transformation Movement (ATM) has removed its founding president, Vuyo Zungula, from the party’s top post, demoting him to a parliamentary leadership role. The decision, announced on Monday, marks a significant power shift within the party he has led since its establishment in 2018.

Zungula will now focus solely on representing the party in Parliament, while Professor Caesar Nongqunga, the Chief Apostle of the Twelve Apostles’ Church in Christ and a key figure behind the ATM’s formation, has been announced as his successor.

The party said the leadership change was agreed upon during a recent National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting, where the need to “separate parliamentary engagement from organisational development and political advocacy” was reportedly discussed at length.

According to senior ATM insiders, the NEC resolved that the dual responsibility held by Zungula was no longer viable as the party seeks to expand its footprint and redefine its ideological presence ahead of upcoming elections. “The decision is not about purging anyone, but about realigning roles for strategic growth,” said one source.

Zungula, known for his youthful energy, sharp parliamentary debates, and vocal stance on transformation, land reform, and anti-corruption, was the face of the ATM’s rise as an alternative voice in South African politics. His sudden removal has raised eyebrows, especially given his popularity among younger voters and in rural communities.

Professor Nongqunga’s appointment signals a potential return to ATM’s original roots as a faith-aligned movement. Though not a traditional politician, Nongqunga has long been viewed as the spiritual and ideological force behind the party’s formation, and his new role as president may reflect a desire to reinforce the party’s religious ethos in its messaging and outreach.

The party has not indicated whether Zungula opposed the decision or plans to challenge it. However, political analysts suggest the reshuffle could result in internal tensions if not handled carefully. “This move could either strengthen ATM’s internal machinery or fracture its momentum, depending on how Zungula’s supporters respond,” said political analyst Rebone Tau.

As ATM charts its next chapter, the leadership change will be closely watched for signs of unity—or fragmentation.
