Maoke, who was the ANC’s executive mayor from 2016 in the small municipality of Ficksburg, unceremoniously resigned from her position in December last year, after home affairs alleged that she had fraudulently obtained her South African citizenship. “… Mrs Maoke is an illegal foreigner and the review before the court does not suspend the decision taken by the department … You are therefore instructed in terms of section 36 of the Immigration Act 13 of 2002 to initiate the process of terminating her employment with immediate effect, failure of which will leave the department with no choice but to take further legal action against the council for employing an illegal foreigner,” the letter read.

In Senekal, numerous service delivery protests have taken place in the past few years with residents demanding proper waterworks.
