Madileng said he feared for his life as his security detail whisked him away from an irate mob. Two men were arrested and charged.
Madileng said at the time: “I live in fear of my life but I always believe that God is great. I was saved by my protectors and the police also arrived later. I will continue working as a mayor and deliver services to our people. I have to upgrade my security and that of my family.” He said the crowd had used their pangas to puncture the tyres of his official vehicle and those on the bakkie of one of his protectors.
Madileng was deployed by the ANC and appointed mayor in September 2017. His administration has been dogged by claims of mismanagement, with a war of words havingover the manager accusing him of corruption. The Citizen was unable to obtain comment from the mayor over the latest incident and will update this story.
