Community members stormed the municipal offices on Tuesday demanding that Madileng and his mayoral committee step down.

Some of the protesting residents, carrying buckets full of poo, forced workers out and spilled the poo inside the council chambers. Kubheka, who was appointed on March 1, was initially suspended in July, leading to Madileng being accused of trying to push him out of the municipality because of his anticorruption stance."They came with false information. We believe the mayor is siding with his friends within the ANC and business people to fire the municipal manager," said Malatjie.

George Thugwana, a resident, said:"We can't have a mayor who calls meetings to suspend a municipal manager saying he did wrong; the municipal manager has not finished a financial year to attest if he is really corrupt." In his defence, Madileng said:"If there's any illegal contract or any misconduct, as a municipal manager, [he] must also comply and respect the rule of law. If the municipal manager sees there's an activity that is not correct, he needs to put together a report for council to ratify it. His role is not to contest or oppose council but to advise [it], but he has been undermining council, pushing a narrative that councillors are illiterate.
