ONE-ON-ONE WITH A NEWSMAKER: Mdumiseni Ntuli.

Loading player...
Mdumiso Ntuli, ANC Top 6 hopeful – contending for the Secretary General position.

Mdumiseni Ntuli is a South African politician and staunch member of the ruling African National Congress. He was elected as provincial secretary of the ANC in KwaZulu-Natal in 2018. But his foray into politics predates that election.

Back in his days at the University of KwaZulu-Natal (UKZN), Ntuli was deeply involved in student association politics and had snapped the position of Students Representative Council (SRC) president by the time he graduated.

The experience he garnered from students politics would serve him well in later years as a member of the ruling ANC. He was the former provincial secretary of the ANC. At the moment, there is a clamour within the party for him to take over as ANC secretary-general.
