Murder-accused Newcastle mayor Ntuthuko Mahlaba outside the Madedeni Magistrate's Court after being released on R20,000 bail on Monday.Ntuthuko Mahlaba, the mayor of Newcastle in KZN who has been accused of murder, is facing the prospect of being stripped of his mayoral chains.
Following Mahlaba's release on R20,000 bail at the Madedeni Magistrate's Court on Monday, ANC provincial spokesperson Nomagugu Simelane-Zulu said the ANC provincial executive committee stood by its decision that anyone accused of a serious crime must be recalled. According to Simelane-Zulu, Mahlaba had between 14 and 30 days to meet the PEC to discuss his position. The PEC is then expected to pronounce on the matter.
The mayor was arrested more than a week ago in connection with the 2016 murder of former ANC Youth League official Wandile Ngobeni. Mahlaba, a medical doctor who was sworn in as mayor in February, was remanded in custody after his first appearance last week Monday.
