Residents are believed to be angered by the lack of service delivery, particularly regarding the provision of water, as well as escalating violence within the local taxi industry, which they claim police have failed to deal with. Andile Hlatshwayo, a convener of the protest, said residents would embark on a total shutdown of the town on Thursday if the ANC failed to recall Madlala.
"If Madlala is not removed or recalled by the 27th [Thursday], we are going to have a total shutdown. Nothing will be coming in, nothing will be going out of the town of Ladysmith," he warned. Hlatshwayo said they would not resort to violence but should the department of co-operative governance and traditional affairs and KZN premier Sihle Zikalala not act on their demands, they were"not going to have them". In May last year, Madlala's son was, along with his friend, while a third person was serious injured. Police at the time said two counts of murder were being investigated after Siboniso Mondli Madlala, 28, and his 29-year-old friend were killed.
The tragedy came three months after Oscar Hlatshwayo, 38, an executive director of engineering technical and infrastructure services at Alfred Duma local municipality, was shot several times in an apparent ambush after dropping his children at school.
Julius_S_Malema have said there's a looming possibility of unled revolution. These pockets of service delivery strikes, may lead to a revolution. Maybe elected politicians needs to do what's they're elected to do. Deliver services!
