The African National Congress will institute a vote of no confidence in the current executive in order to reclaim the mayoral chain today.
According to ANC deputy provincial chairperson Speedy Mashilo, “We won that local municipality by 54 percent. We were robbed of it by some ridiculous members who colluded with the opposition to pip us out of power. Today, we’re back at the Council Chambers to reclaim our power and mayoral chain.

“Our promise to our people in Mkhondo we will resuscitate service delivery with immediate effect. Friday, we will, among others, be rolling out about 800 decent housing, prioritising those who experienced recent disasters which destroyed infrastructure and roads destroyed whose houses.
