ANC KZN members facing serious charges told to step down from govt positions
The ANC in KwaZulu-Natal on Tuesday took an unprecedented step, announcing that all members charged with serious crimes must step aside from the positions of responsibility in government, pending the conclusion of their legal cases.
Mahlaba made his first appearance at the Madadeni Magistrate's Court for his alleged part in the murder of Ngubeni, an ANCYL regional deputy chairperson who was shot dead while with friends three years ago. On Monday, charges of murder and attempted murder related to ANCYL leader Sindiso Magaqa were provisionally withdrawn against Harry Gwala District Municipality mayor Mluleki Ndobe.
ANC provincial secretary Mdumeseni Ntuli, addressing the media in Durban, said the decision was inspired by the party’s "commitment and determination to defend and advance the interests of our movement and that of the masses of our people".
