On to this now, a major political development out of KwaZulu-Natal, where Premier Thami Ntuli has successfully fended off a motion of no confidence. The motion, which aimed to unseat the newly appointed Premier, was tabled by the uMkhontoweSizwe Party (MKP) but ultimately failed to secure the necessary support.

This outcome solidifies Premier Ntuli's position, at least for now, but the political drama surrounding the vote has overshadowed the result itself, pointing to deep divisions within the provincial legislature. The vote took place amid extraordinary scenes of chaos and disruption as members of the uMkhontoweSizwe Party actively attempted to halt the proceedings.

MKP representatives repeatedly interrupted the session, vociferously demanding that the vote be conducted via a secret ballot, a demand that was ultimately rejected. The situation quickly escalated from a political standoff to a physical scuffle on the floor of the house, requiring intervention to restore order and allow the vote to proceed.

The immediate aftermath of the disruption has revealed serious consequences. Reports confirm that at least one woman was injured during the melee, and even more concerning are the allegations that an MKP member physically assaulted the Speaker of the Legislature during the height of the scuffle. These incidents have prompted calls for a full investigation into the conduct of the members involved.

We follow this story closely with the Speaker of the KZN Provincial Legislature, Nontembeko Boyce as well as Political Analyst Ntsikelelo Breakfast.
