About Ngizwe Mchunu

Ngizwe Mchunu is a South African radio personality and sangoma.

Career Mchunu was a presenter for SABC's Ukhozi FM but was fired after allegedly breaching a confidentiality policy by sharing private station information publicly. After his firing, he launched his own online radio station, Ngizwe Mchunu FM, which first aired 09:00-23:00 on 14 September 2019.

Polygyny controversy Mchunu attempted to marry three women. Although South Africa's legal system does allow for polygamous marriages under the Recognition of Customary Marriages Act, such must be done in accordance with recognised traditions, which Mchunu did not follow.

His first wife, Siphelele Nxumalo, took him to court in 2014 in an attempt to nullify his civil marriage to his third would-be wife, Floda Mthimkhulu.

Following the 2021 unrest in South Africa linked to Jacob Zuma, Mchunu was accused of instigating and urging others to commit theft and violence during a press conference made in Johannesburg, and was consequently charged with incitement to commit public violence. On 19 July 2021, he handed himself over to police.

Xenophobia controversy

According to GroundUp Mchunu runs an anti- illegal immigrant group called Amabhinca Nation' that has participated in actions that have resulted in the deportation of documented and undocumented migrants in Durban.

Homophobia controversy

Mchunu has repeatedly made homophobic statements.
