Reading Time: < 1 minute

Pressure is mounting on Matjhabeng Municipality Mayor, Nkosinjani Speelman to resign.

Welkom, Ondendaalsrus, Virginia, Allanridge, Hennenman and Ventersburg fall under the Free State Municipality.

There have been numerous protests over poor service delivery since Speelman took office after the 2016 local government elections.

Matjhabeng owes Eskom and Sedibeng Water R1 billion each.

The Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) has filed a motion of no confidence in Speelman saying it has the support of some ANC councillors.

“The Mayor of Matjhabeng has been involved in activities that have led to the state the municipality is in today. He is involved in fraudulent activities that have deprived the people of Matjhabeng of their basic services by taking money and giving it to close allies of the secretary general of the ANC through illegal tenders,” says EFF Councillor Thomas Macingwane.
