Sihle Zikalala's appointment seen as a move to forge unity and ... (Independent Online)

The former premier was announced as the new Co-operative Governance and Traditional Affairs MEC by his successor, Nomusa Dube-Ncube.

They are a testimony to the kind of pressure that the IFP has exerted upon the dysfunctional Zikalala/ANC executive in KwaZulu-Natal in its capacity as the official opposition,” the IFP said. In their first post-conference briefing, the new provincial leadership revealed that it had never wanted Zikalala to leave his position as premier. In the Finance portfolio, Dube-Ncube appointed Peggy Nkonyeni who held the Transport, Community Safety and Liaison portfolio. The party said it was also a very strong indication that the interests of KZN’s people and the future of the province were not being placed ahead of party politics. The DA said the new provincial cabinet was a clear sign that the so-called Taliban faction had taken control of the ANC and the KZN legislature. His appointment to the cabinet was seen as a move by the party to appease his supporters and to prove that there was no intention to purge him after he failed to be re-elected to the position of chairperson in the recent conference.
