Ndodephethe Bethuel Mthethwa is a South African politician who has represented the African National Congress (ANC) in the KwaZulu-Natal Provincial Legislature since 2019. He was formerly the Mayor of Jozini Local Municipality.
Political career[edit]
Mthethwa was the Mayor of Jozini[1][2] until the 2016 local government elections. In the elections, Mthethwa was re-elected as a local councillor and was nominated as the ANC's mayoral candidate, but the ANC failed to gain a plurality of seats. In September 2016, after weeks of deadlock, he was replaced as Mayor by Delani Mabika of the opposition Inkatha Freedom Party.[3] He is also a former Regional Chairperson of the ANC's Far North branch in Umkhanyakude District.[4] He was installed in that office by 2014[5] and was re-elected in 2018,[6] but in September 2021 his re-election bid was defeated by Siphile Mdaka.[7][8]
He was elected to the provincial legislature in the 2019 general election, ranked 33rd on the ANC's provincial party list.[9] In July 2022, he was additionally elected to a four-year term on the Provincial Executive Committee of the ANC's KwaZulu-Natal branch.[10]
