The Democratic Alliance in KwaZulu-Natal announced that will not support the motion of no confidence against KZN Premier Thami Ntuli which will take place on 15 December 2025.

The motion of no confidence against the sitting Premier was tabled by uMkhonto weSizwe Party which is an opposition in the KwaZulu-Natal Legislature.

On Tuesday, the Democratic Alliance in KwaZulu-Natal convened a special meeting of the Provincial Executive Committee (PEC) where they reached an agreement not to support MK Party's motion of no confidence.

Dean Macpherson, DA KZN Chairperson said the PEC has resolved unanimously to reject the motion as it is an attempt by the MKP to create chaos and instability in the province.

Macpherson affirmed that as a Democratic Alliance are impressed by the work is doing by their MECs on improving the service delivery in the province.

"Furthermore, the PEC has recognised the immense work that the DA has achieved through our MEC's, Francois Rodgers and Martin Meyer who have been on a drive to accelerate service delivery to the residents of KZN. It also reflected on the important work our Deputy Speaker, Mmabatho Tembe has played to ensure the legislature is a forum for open debate as well as broadening social participation in its programs.

The PEC also paid tribute to DA Portfolio Committee Chairpersons and the Deputy Chief Whip of the Legislature who have worked tirelessly to hold members of the Executive to account," said Macpherson.

Macpherson made it clear that the Democratic Alliance's involvement in the Government of Provincial Unity has limits and will not tolerate any wrongdoing from its partners in the GPU.

"However, the PEC also resolved that the DA's participation in the GPU is not without limits and an accelerated program of service delivery focusing on economic growth and job creation must take place. The DA will to intensify the fight against crime, eliminating corruption, as well as reducing fruitless and wasteful expenditure. The leaders of the different parties must foster a culture of mutual respect between GPU partners that leads to an enhanced program of action to further cooperation and a genuine willingness to compromise on matters. This is paramount to the longevity of the coalition.

The DA is committed to putting the people of the province first to ensure prosperity and opportunity to everyone who calls KwaZulu-Natal their home," he concluded.
