Mavundla also said that it was important for them to fill the newly vacant positions with people who are well-grounded in politics and not “political infants”.

Dr Khoza is not the only new face to join the political party. Political activist Jackie Shandu joins as Deputy Secretary, ABC NEC member Mfundo Masondo has been positioned as National Chairperson and former District mayor Dr James Mthethwa joins as the party’s Deputy Chairperson.

The ABC is a party with a powerful stronghold in northern KZN and the party president, Mavundla, leads as the mayor of the Umvoti Municipality.

This return to the political arena by Dr Makhosi Khoza comes after the politician was ejected from ActionSA in 2022.

The Daily Maverick reported that Khoza was removed from the party by Herman Mashaba just four months after the local government elections held in November 2021.
