Ntuli branded Zille a liar after the federal chairperson implied that Ntuli was not a good leader on national television. While speaking on eNCA, Zille said that Ntuli was painted as an incredible leader who played a critical role in the DA.

But Zille corrected that narrative, saying that The former MPL seldom attended meetings when she was supposed to. Zille added that she had the records to prove that what she was saying was true.

According to TimesLIVE, Ntuli said her split from the DA was like a breakup. The Former DA MPL said she had left the orbit of the DA, but Zille kept trying to bring her back in.

Ntuli's lashing is not the first time the pair have fallen out publically on the issue. The Witness reported that Zille implied Ntule left the party because the DA chairperson asked her to start attending meetings.

Again during that incident, Mbali fetched Zille on Twitter and said Zille was delusional if she thought Ntuli's decisions had anything to do with her.
