The DA in KwaZulu-Natal has accepted an offer from the IFP to field a candidate for the vacant deputy mayor position in uMhlathuze Local Municipality. | soyiso_maliti
Christo Botha, the DA caucus leader in uMhlathuze, will likely assume office almost a month after the DA and IFP signed a service delivery pact aimed at KwaZulu-Natal municipalities.
The agreement collapsed after the IFP rejected an EFF request for the mayorship of uMhlathuze as part of a multiparty power-sharing agreement that involved the ANC. The ANC is likely to field its own candidate, but all indications are that Botha will emerge victorious as the IFP has the majority of seats in the council.In considering our approach to taking up this seat, it was noted that the two parties have been working together since the elections in 2021 and have seen notable improvements in service delivery and government administration.
He was referring to a multimillion-rand mansion the municipality set out to build which it said would be used by an incumbent mayor.
