Murder-accused Newcastle mayor could lose his job, says ANC

Following Mahlaba’s release on R20,000 bail at the Madedeni Magistrate’s Court on Monday, ANC provincial spokesperson Nomagugu Simelane-Zulu said the ANC provincial executive committee stood by its decision that anyone accused of a serious crime must be recalled.

According to Simelane-Zulu, Mahlaba had between 14 and 30 days to meet with the PEC to discuss his position. The PEC is then expected to pronounce on the matter. He was arrested more than a week ago in connection with the 2016 murder of former ANC Youth League official Wandile Ngobeni. Mahlaba, a medical doctor who was sworn in as mayor in February, was remanded in custody after his first appearance last week Monday.

An image is like copper! The shine fades quickly and must be polished weekly. ANC image gets tarnished more regularly so it became a daily job to try and put some shine back.

I mean 'you are innocent till proven guilty' yet this is a murder case and i am very afraid to be seen supporting someone accused of murder. 😔 These are the people who want to occupy positions until they die .Are they not supposed to mentor these youth to be leaders of tomorrow instead of seeing them as competition.Please don’t kill our future leaders for the sake of money.
