Early life and career
---------------------

Zondo was born on 26 March 1992 and grew up in [Hluhluwe](/wiki/Hluhluwe "Hluhluwe") in [KwaZulu\-Natal](/wiki/KwaZulu-Natal "KwaZulu-Natal"). He attended the Ethekwini TVET College. Zondo formerly served as an [Inkatha Freedom Party](/wiki/Inkatha_Freedom_Party "Inkatha Freedom Party") councillor in the [Big Five Hlabisa Local Municipality](/wiki/Big_Five_Hlabisa_Local_Municipality "Big Five Hlabisa Local Municipality"). He is the current deputy national chair of the IFP Youth Brigade.

After the IFP won control of the [uMkhanyakude District Municipality](/wiki/Umkhanyakude_District_Municipality "Umkhanyakude District Municipality") in the local government elections held on 1 November 2021, Zondo accused the ANC of refusing the yield power in the district and claimed that there was a lot of irregularities during the first sitting of the newly elected [Mtubatuba Local Municipality](/wiki/Mtubatuba_Local_Municipality "Mtubatuba Local Municipality") council. He demanded that the uMkhanyakude district "be given to the party \[IFP] voted for by the people" and called on the national ANC Minister of Water and Sanitation, [Senzo Mchunu](/wiki/Senzo_Mchunu "Senzo Mchunu"), in December 2021 to renounce all national government interventions in the district and let the IFP govern the district municipality.
