A dispute between two warring ANC factions has left a North-West municipality with two municipal managers at the helm.
The Madibeng local municipality in Brits, appointed Solinda Mnisi and Precious Raputswa, following two dramatic council meetings two days apart of each other over two weeks ago.
Sowetan has learnt that after the results were presented to council, there was a dispute which saw some councillors staging a walkout. An insider said the decision to appoint Raputswa was allowed to stand because the executive mayor Jostina Mothibe and speaker Kabelo Ntshabele,"wanted Mnisi out at all costs".
