THE ANC in KwaZulu Natal has given Uphongolo Local Municipality mayor and a deputy mayor in another municipality the boot. The party cited poor governance, loss of public trust and incompetence as one of the reasons for their dismissal.
“ANC members know that they serve at the mercy of the party. So, at any given time the organisation makes it own assessment whether its deployees in government are living up to public expectations and delivering on the party mandate.

Nhlabathi is currently facing legal woes together with her two bodyguards
