Ityala likamasipala kunye nemiba iye yaba mandundu xa oomasipala bengingqi badityaniswa. UBukani uthi, obesakuba ngumlawuli wephondo (provincial administrator) kumasipala waseEnoch Mgijima, uVuyo Mlokoti, wafumana ubungqina benkcitho engafanelekanga kwingxelo yakhe yokuqala, nethe yabhentsisa lo masipala usengxakini.

“Ngoku, bekukho uMmeli weKhabhinethi kaZwelonke (NCR). Ngokwesiqhelo, umasipala akanakuqhutywa ngabalawuli (administration) ixesha elingaphezu konyaka. Kuba kujongwe ukuba umasipala angakwazi na ukuzalisekisa izibophelelo zakhe eyedwa, ulawulo lunexesha elibekiweyo.

Uqhube wathi, “Ukuba umasipala akachithwanga, sifuna ukuba iNCR ekhokelwa nguGqirha Tom ilawule lo masipala. Ngamanye amazwi, umlawuli kufuneka abe ngusodolophu kwaye onyule iqela lakhe kwizikhundla kangangeenyanga ezintathu, apho kufuneka lilawule umasipala.”
