Political career

[edit]

In 2014 Zondi stood for election to the KwaZulu-Natal Legislature as 51st on the African National Congress's provincial legislature list.[2] He was elected and sworn in on 21 May 2014.[3]

In 2019 he stood for re-election at 50th.[4] The ANC won only 44 seats in the provincial legislature and Zondi was not elected to return to the legislature.

On 31 August 2020, Zondi was sworn in as a member of the National Assembly of South Africa, replacing Dorah Dunana Dlamini, who died in June.[5] As of 8 October 2020, he serves as a member of the Portfolio Committee on Sports, Arts and Culture.[6]
