Three Eastern Cape traditional leaders accused of attempted murder after allegedly forcing an initiate to walk through burning coals, will be kept in custody until the finalisation of their trial.
The EFF in the Eastern Cape wants Cogta MEC Zolile Williams to dissolve the Chris Hani District Municipality and appoint an administrator, stating the council has continuously failed to provide reliable services and meet its financial obligations.

The Gqeberha high court will now decide whether co-operative governance and traditional affairs MEC Zolile Williams acted rationally when he declared a Section 12 amendment for the governance structure in Nelson Mandela Bay.
