New uMngeni council set to meet again
All eyes will be on uMngeni Municipality as its council again tries to hold its first meeting.
The last inaugural sitting ended prematurely when some councillors walked out.
They accused suspended municipal manager Thembeka Cibane of trying to illegally preside over the election of office-bearers.
The DA last week went to the High Court to force the acting municipal manager to call a council meeting. The court ruled in the party's favour.

Deputy mayor-elect Sandile Mnikathi says they are ready to serve.
"I'm really excited to get the ball rolling and have our first inaugural council meeting after our first meeting was disruptive. We are quite keen to take office and to deliver the services that we had promised the people of uMngeni Municipality."
