While ADM mayor Nceba Ndikinda this week came to the defence of under-siege municipal manager Thandekile Mnyimba, rubbishing claims by Cogta MEC Xolile Nqatha that his academic qualifications were not up to scratch, the DA on Thursday opened a criminal case against Mnyimba. The party has accused Mnyimba of “making fraudulent representations regarding his senior qualifications”.
The decision by the Amathole district municipality to reappoint its municipal manager for a second term has not met with the approval of co-operative governance and traditional affairs MEC Xolile Nqatha.
