Newsletter| “We are certain of victory come the results of the elections. Worst-case scenario, we will come second,' says Vuyolwethu Zungula, the 31-year-old leader of the African Transformation Movement (ATM)

One would be forgiven for thinking these sound like the credentials of a young man looking for love on an online dating site.

Speaking to City Press, Zungula said that in the one year that he had been at the helm of one of the fastest growing political parties in the country – as indicated in the recent by-elections – he has learnt to navigate the question of whether he is too wet behind the ears to lead a party, let alone an entire county.

The Mthatha-born Zungula explained that the ATM is a by-product of African Independent Churches which realised “that when politicians engaged with religious organisations their point of contact was always mainline churches falling under the South African Council of Churches”. The soft-spoken leader does not view himself as a politician “in the true sense of the word. Politicians have become synonymous with only seeking position and not serving the people. They have become known for looting state coffers – lining their pockets while ordinary South Africans linger in utter poverty.”
