The mayor pleaded with the community to put politics aside and allow development in the area now that the elections are over
Yesterday (June 6), Inkosi Langalibalele Local Municipality Mayor Mduduzi Myeza jokingly comforted ANC Ward 10 Councillor Edith Lite and reassured her that she is still a ward councillor. A smiling Myeza said nothing will change until the 2026 municipal election. He said this at the Colita Community Hall during the introduction of the contractor that will construct the Colita Bridge.
This after Cllr Lite revealed at the same event that some people have been teasing her after MK won Ward 10.
