Ladysmith residents want mayor removed

In an interview with eNCA, Andile Hlatshwayo, a convener of the protest, said residents would embark on a total shutdown of the town today if the ANC fails to recall Madlala.

"If Madlala is not removed or recalled by the 27th [today], 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 will go ahead with the protest.In May last year, Madlala's son was shot dead, 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.

Oh they just want the mayor removed Not the party that appointed the mayor Hhhmmm ok🤦‍♂️
