MPUMALANGA - Mandla Ndlovu has put his job-hunting days behind him after he was recently elected African National Congress’ Mpumalanga chairperson. The Mpumalanga provincial executive committee (PEC) revealed that Ndlovu is set to be a member of the provincial legislature on Tuesday 3 May.

The announcement followed the resignation of Muzi Chirwa. Ndlovu said he does not intend to recall Premier Refilwe Mtsweni-Tsipane who failed to make it to the province’s top five.

Ndlovu previously worked as a teacher before moving to politics, however, he did not have an income because only one position in the top five of the ANC was available which was occupied by Chirwa. According to News24, his salary is expected to be over R1.1 million a year.
