The inauguration of the new council in the uMngeni municipality stalled when the ruling DA objected to having suspended municipal manager Thembeka Cibane present.The inauguration of the new council in the uMngeni municipality in KwaZulu-Natal was thrown into disarray on Friday morning when the DA objected to suspended municipal manager Thembeka Cibane presiding over the meeting.
DA leader John Steenhuisen, who was present, said it was very clear what message the ANC was sending by allowing Cibane to preside over the meeting. “This council will constitute when that happens. Those officials implicated will find themselves on the wrong side of the law. Part of the duties of the new mayor would be to clean up this type of behaviour.
Mayor elect Chris Pappas speaks to DA provincial leader Francois Rodgers outside the Howick community hall where the inauguration was set to take place on Friday morning.“We went through a democratic process and voters of uMngeni spoke. Again the ANC shows its arrogance towards the voters of uMngeni,” he said.
