A former ANC deputy mayor in KwaZulu-Natal has joined the DA after resigning from the uMngeni municipality and the ANC due to death threats.
Nompumelelo Buthelezi left the municipality and the ANC just days before the local government elections.
Mkhize had been a member of the ANC for over 12 years, Pappas said, and she has now chosen the DA as her new political home because she has seen how the party can deliver and improve people's lives in local government. “This move goes a long way to show people that it is OK to change your vote and that you do not have to be in an abusive relationship with one party forever. By changing your vote you can change your future,” he said.
