Patriotic Alliance’s Elizabeth Lethoko resigned as the mayor of Ditsobotla local municipality a few hours after she was elected in a council sitting on Monday.
“As you well know, following conclusion of all items on the agenda, a surprise matter was tabled — that of appointing administrator as the municipal manager. At no point did the ANC — your party — raise this important matter with me or the Patriotic Alliance’s president, Gayton McKenzie, who was present all day in the Ditsobotla council for such important coalition discussions,’’ said Lethoko.
“The manner in which this was performed was duplicitous in the extreme and was clearly intended to sidestep proper council procedures... My party the Patriotic Alliance will not be associated with underhanded tactics, which one can only presume are intended to cover up corruption in Ditsobotla…,’’ said Lethoko.The council sitting on Monday was the first by the ailing municipality since the December by-elections.
