Meet Ngizwe Mchunu the former radio star, leading the movement to expel immigrants from South Africa
Ngizwe Mchunu has transformed himself from one of South Africa’s most recognisable radio personalities into one of the country’s most divisive political activists.
To his supporters, he is a defender of Zulu identity and a man challenging government failures on border control and crime. To his critics, he is a dangerous figure whose fiery rhetoric fuels xenophobia, intimidation, and unlawful vigilantism.
The KwaZulu Natal traditionalist first rose to national prominence as a popular presenter on Ukhozi FM, a station run by the South African Broadcasting Corporation. Known for his passionate embrace of Zulu culture and tradition, Mchunu built a loyal audience that extended far beyond radio.
