Hlomuka says they want to bring stability to these struggling municipalities. 


"The municipality failed to pass the 2020/2021 budget, including the IDP on time. 


"We don't choose whether the municipality is run by the ANC or the IFP, any municipality that is failing to render services to the people that they have been elected, we have a responsibility to support them."
