This is a list of members of the third KwaZulu-Natal Legislature, as elected in the general election of 14 April 2004. In that election, for the first time since the 1994 general election, the African National Congress (ANC) overtook the Inkatha Freedom Party (IFP) to hold a plurality in the legislature, winning 38 seats against the IFP's 30.[1] The ANC and IFP governed in an ANC-led coalition until November 2006. The Democratic Alliance retained its seven seats, and the other five seats were divided between the African Christian Democratic Party, the Minority Front, and the United Democratic Movement; the New National Party lost its representation in the legislature.[1]

In the aftermath of the election, the ANC named S'bu Ndebele as its candidate for election as Premier of KwaZulu-Natal.[2] During the first sitting of the legislature on 23 April 2004,[3] after members were sworn in to their seats, the outgoing Premier, Lionel Mtshali of the IFP, formally nominated Ndebele as his successor.[4] Ndebele was elected, becoming the province's first Premier from a party other than the IFP. Willies Mchunu was elected as Speaker of the KwaZulu-Natal Legislature and the IFP's Mhlabunzima Hlengwa was elected as Deputy Speaker.[5]

After a period of prevarication,[4] the IFP entered into a coalition agreement with the ANC, in terms of which it was represented in Ndebele's Executive Council. The Minority Front also held one portfolio in the Executive Council.[5] On 1 November 2006, Premier Ndebele sacked the IFP's two Members of the Executive Council, terminating the IFP's participation in the government; he said that the relationship between the parties had been undermined by the IFP's campaign to oust the ANC from control of several KwaZulu-Natal municipalities.[6]
