This is a list of members of the second KwaZulu-Natal Legislature, as elected in the election of 2 June 1999. The Inkatha Freedom Party (IFP) lost its majority in the legislature but retained a plurality, holding 34 seats in the 80-seat legislature.^[1] It formed a coalition government with the second-largest party, the African National Congress (ANC), which won 32 seats. Also represented were the Democratic Party, with seven seats; the New National Party, with three seats; the Minority Front, with two seats; and the United Democratic Movement and African Christian Democratic Party, with one seat apiece. The United Democratic Movement was a new entrant to the legislature, while the Pan Africanist Congress lost its representation.^[2]

After the election, the first sitting of the legislature was postponed to allow the parties to enter into negotiations over the formation of a government.^[3] At the first sitting, held on 18 June 1999, members were sworn in to their seats and re-elected Lionel Mtshali as Premier of KwaZulu-Natal.^[2] He defeated the opposition candidate, the Democratic Party's Roger Burrows, with 67 votes to Burrows's eight; the ANC had withdrawn the nomination of its own candidate, Sbu Ndebele, in favour of joining a coalition with the IFP. The ANC was therefore represented in Mtshali's Executive Council.^[2] The IFP's Bonga Mdletshe was re-elected as Speaker of the KwaZulu-Natal Legislature, and the ANC's Willies Mchunu was re-elected as his deputy.^[4]

This is a list of members of the second legislature as elected on 2 June 1999.^[1] It does not take into account changes in membership after the election.
