African Transformation Movement replaces president in bid to grow party – The Mail & Guardian

The African Transformation Movement (ATM) has recently undergone a significant leadership change, with Caesar Nongqunga taking over as the new president of the party. This strategic move aims to bolster the party’s support base in preparation for the upcoming 2026 and 2029 elections.

Nongqunga, who is the Chief Apostle of the Twelve Apostles’ Church in Christ, has been involved with the ATM since its inception and is known for his advocacy of morality, community upliftment, and religious values. His appointment is part of the party’s strategy to strengthen its presence in communities through a faith-based and service delivery-driven approach.

The decision to appoint Nongqunga as president while retaining Vuyolwethu Zungula as parliamentary leader is intended to separate organizational and parliamentary responsibilities within the party. This division of power will allow Zungula to focus on the party’s image in parliament, while Nongqunga leads efforts to expand the ATM’s grassroots appeal.

Despite maintaining its two seats in the National Assembly, the ATM has faced challenges in expanding its electoral footprint. The party’s electoral performance has remained stagnant, prompting the leadership reshuffle as a means to recalibrate its strategy and attract more voters.

Nongqunga’s background in theology, education, and community development is expected to resonate with voters who are disillusioned with traditional political parties. His track record of initiating agricultural projects, funding education for disadvantaged learners, and creating job opportunities in rural areas reflects the ATM’s commitment to addressing the needs of marginalized communities.

The ATM’s decision to collaborate with the uMkhonto weSizwe (MK) party in upcoming elections has sparked concerns among party members about the potential for the ATM to be overshadowed by its partner. However, the ATM remains optimistic that the partnership will strengthen unity among progressive forces in South Africa.

As smaller parties like the ATM position themselves to capitalize on voter fatigue and coalition instability, Nongqunga’s appointment signals a broader shift in South African politics. By leveraging his community-driven leadership style alongside Zungula’s legislative expertise, the ATM aims to present a united front to voters and chart a new course for the party’s future.
