# Political analyst Bheki Mngomezulu says the political career of former chairperson of the National Freedom Party in KwaZulu-Natal, Mbali Shinga, is in jeopardy following her expulsion. Shinga was found guilty of gross insubordination after defying party instructions to support a motion of no confidence against premier Thami Ntuli in December 2025. Her removal threatens her positions as an Member of Provincial Legislature and MEC for Social Development, impacting the stability of KwaZulu-Natal’s Government of Provincial Unity. He says her removal will force the NFP to appoint a replacement.
