According to Nonkonyana, he intends to approach the Bhisho High Court in a bid to overturn a successful vote of no confidence against him last week by members of the house.
Johannesburg - Eastern Cape traditional leader Inkosi Mwelo Nonkonyana says he will not take his removal as the chairperson of the provincial House of Traditional Leaders lying down, and claims that this is a result of years of conspiracy against him.
“For instance, even though I was entitled to an official vehicle with an official driver as well as the official residence on the day I was elected three years ago, these were not provided to me,” he said. Nonkonyana said he was only given an official residence in January 2018 and an official car three months later. “I have not been given a driver to date. Other members of the executive committee, besides the deputy, were given light delivery vehicles and no executive cars, as their predecessors in office had. They have not been given official residences to date.”
“I closed my practice in 2017 - the same year I became chairman. I have taken all legal steps necessary to clear my name and to protect the struggle of traditional leaders of South Africa to be a part of governance at all spheres of government.”
