NOTE: This story was updated on Friday last week. The original story headline read ‘KwaDukuza Mayor Lindile Nhaca recalled by provincial ANC, no replacement named’. The headline, and the first two lines of the story, have been amended to reflect that, according to the mayor’s office, the mayor remains in office until her recall has followed a formal process.
The North Coast Courier apologises for any confusion that the original headline may have caused.
This is a developing story, and we will keep readers updated as it unfolds.
