Lekwa mayor, Mr Linda Dhlamini allegedly defied the decision of the Provincial Executive Committee (PEC) by refusing to step down.

Mr Dhlamini, a provincial deputy secretary of the South African National Civic Organisation (Sanco), was recalled on 18 March.

“The ANC wants him to leave his post because of an impasse in the municipality that is affecting service delivery,” Ms Lindiwe Ntshalitshali, ANC acting regional secretary, said.

Gert Sibande ANC spokesman, Mr Sabelo Skhakhane, said they await a PEC decision to finalise whether Ms Khosi Khotha will become the new mayor or whether Mr Dhlamini will continue.
