Sihle Zikala says he was not pushed out of the premier's position by the new leaders of the ANC in KwaZulu-Natal but left because of a perception spread in the province that he had betrayed former president Jacpob Zuma.
However in his resignation speech, the former premier dismissed these claims.
He said his unity approach was evident in that the ANC is much more united as he leaves the position of chair than it was between 2015 to 2017. The outgoing premier also suggested his resignation was to protect the ANC from any internal battles that may arise because of his presence. The April and May 2022 floods, which cost at least 461 lives, destroyed infrastructure and caused further setbacks on the economic front.
