The NFP's Mbali Shinga's political future hangs in the balance after her appeal against her expulsion was dismissed..
The National Freedom Party (NFP) and its embattled KwaZulu-Natal Legislature member, Mbali Shinga, are headed for a legal showdown following the dismissal of her appeal against her expulsion from the party.
On Saturday, the party announced that the appeals committee chairperson dismissed Shinga's appeal and upheld her earlier expulsion from the party. However on Sunday, speaking through her attorney Sithembiso Mbhel, Shinga vowed to go to court to challenge the latest decision on her political career.
Mbhele said he has been instructed by Shinga to file papers in court on Monday, describing the appeals chairperson’s decision as long pre-determined.
He said that the appeals committee chairperson 'frustrated Shinga’s appeal from day one by refusing to provide the transcript of the hearing to the legal team to formulate arguments of the appeal'.
