The African National Congress (ANC) chairperson in KwaZulu-Natal Sihle Zikalala has condemned the recent killing of eight people in Richmond and Inanda.
in the Moses Mabhida Region – especially at Umngeni – is the main reason why the ANC lost the municipality to the DA during last year’s municipal elections.“We had to come back and assure our members to not lose hope to them it might be a shocker now to accept that they are under DA municipality but they would have observed the processes from 2014 general elections, 2016, 2019 the signs were there that if you don’t turn the corner you might lose this municipality.
The posts became vacant after councillors in eThewkini and kwaNongoma were murdered just before the local government elections last year. The IEC’s Acting electoral officer in KwaZulu-Natal, Ntombifuthi Masinga says, “The by-elections will take place in 4 wards across three municipalities in the province including eThewkini, Ukhahlamba in Bergville and kwaNongoma municipalities. All these councillors except in Bergville were actually murdered before they could even assume their seats as councillors in their municipalities.
