Colaboradores
JOHANNESBURG - The African Transformation Movement (ATM) has announced a significant leadership change. Vuyo Zungula will no longer serve as the party's president, with the decision made to allow him to concentrate on the ATM's work within Parliament. This comes as the party aims to strengthen its parliamentary presence and broaden its overall reach.
Professor Ceaser Nongqunga Takes the Helm
Taking over the leadership responsibilities from Zungula is Professor Ceaser Nongqunga, who brings a wealth of experience and a strong connection to the community. Nongqunga also holds the position of chief apostle of the Twelve Apostles Church in Christ. The ATM believes that Nongqunga's leadership will be instrumental in driving the party's growth and expanding its footprint across the nation.
Focusing on Parliamentary Accountability
The ATM's national executive committee expressed confidence that this strategic shift will benefit the party in the long run. While holding only two seats in the previous Parliament, Zungula has been a vocal advocate for accountability, most notably pushing for answers from President Cyril Ramaphosa regarding the Phala Phala scandal. The party anticipates that Zungula's intensified focus on parliamentary duties will further amplify their voice and impact within the legislative body.
The ATM emphasizes that separating Zungula's parliamentary responsibilities from the demands of organisational leadership is a crucial step towards achieving its strategic goals. The party is optimistic that this restructuring will enable both Zungula and Nongqunga to excel in their respective roles, ultimately contributing to the ATM's overall success.
