Last week residents of Nkomazi in Mpumalanga shut down the offices of the embattled local municipality over a lack of service delivery, demanding clean drinking water, electricity, and roads, among other things. By the end of the week municipal workers had still not returned to work. Since a new councillor was sworn in after the November 2021 local government election- there has not been stability in that municipality. The African National Congress in the province expelled the Executive Mayor Johan Mkhatshwa for allegedly defying the party after the November Local Government Elections.
