Harry Gwala Mayor grateful for support from ANC

Harry Gwala Mayor, Mluleki Ndobe has thanked the ANC leadership for its support.   

This after charges of murder - leveled against him last week in connection with the Sindiso Magaqa case - were dropped yesterday due to insufficient evidence.   

He and three others appeared in the Umzimkhulu Magistrate’s Court.  Asked outside court if the party’s secretary-general had asked him to step down, Ndobe said he had not.

Meanwhile charges against Zweliphansi Skhosana were also dropped.
