Nqaba Bhanga on Why he left the DA to re-join the ANC

🎙️ Podcast Episode: Crossing the Floor — Power, Principle, and Political Realignment

In this candid and strategic conversation, I sit down with Nqaba Bhanga, a seasoned political leader and former Eastern Cape Premier candidate, to unpack one of the most talked about political decisions in recent times — his departure from the Democratic Alliance and return to the African National Congress.

This episode goes beyond headlines and soundbites. Nqaba Bhanga reflects on ideology, leadership culture, internal party dynamics, and the realities of governance that shaped his political journey. He speaks openly about values, accountability, political identity, and the difficult trade offs leaders must confront when navigating South Africa’s evolving political landscape.

The discussion offers rare insight into party politics, loyalty, and the question many South Africans continue to ask: where does principled leadership truly reside in this moment of national transition?
