The National Freedom Partys NFP suspended KwaZulu-Natal chairperson Mbali Shinga is set to appear before a disciplinary hearing on Wednesday.
She is accused of defying the party when she voted against the uMkhonto weSizwe Partys motion of no confidence in Premier Thami Ntuli during a chaotic special sitting last month.
The party had instructed Shinga to support the MK partys motion along with the EFF.
