DESPITE having a promising start, the wife of a minister who is a Cyril Ramaphosa loyalist has dismally failed to win one of the critical regional elective conferences in KwaZulu-Natal.

Thembeka Mchunu, wife of Water and Sanitation Minister Senzo Mchunu, was on Sunday beaten by a latecomer while contesting to become the next chairperson of the Musa Dladla region (King Cetshwayo District). The region is the fourth largest in the province after eThekwini, Mzala Nxumalo (Zululand) and Moses Mabhida (uMgungundlovu). | IOL
