19 October 2022
The DA in uMzinyathi District welcomes the suspension of Msinga Local Municipality Mayor, Councillor Mletheni Ndlovu and two IFP Councillors, Cllr. Thokozani Sokhela and Cllr. Mhawukeleni Sokhela following their arrest over firearm charges.
We have learnt that the Mayor allegedly gave firearms to his bodyguard’s that do not have competency certificates and had failed to keep his firearm in a safe.
Ndlovu is the same Mayor that was named by another IFP Councillor, Cllr. Lungisani Ntuli in a viral social media video, as one of his attackers during an assassination attempt on him and the late Councillor Siyanda Magubane.
Councillor Magubane allegedly had a fallout with the Mayor and he unfortunately did not survive the attack.
