Angry mob demands money back from councillor, or else
The councillor allegedly took over R300k from the residents and told them she’d talk to the relevant authorities on their behalf.
Angry residents of Marikana Section in Mpumalanga protested outside Ms Mancy Ndoda, Ward 20 councillor’s house demanding their money back, the Ridge Times reports.
They claimed they were told they had to pay R215 per shack so that they could pay lawyers to defend them on the land they had settled in. However, the councillor told them she would speak to the lawyers on their behalf but never came back to them with any feedback.
The residents said the total amount that they wanted from the councillor was R360 000, a calculation based on the fact that there are 1 800 shacks in the area.
“We want our money back or else. This councillor must account for her actions, we want our money.”
The residents said they would also go to the houses of all the implicated people.
