The ANC in KwaZulu-Natal calls for the removal of CoGTA MEC Thulasizwe Buthelezi, accusing him of targeting ANC-led municipalities in a dispute involving a R14.6 million water tanker purchase for uMkhanyakude.
The party links its demand to what it describes as political interference connected to the tanker procurement process. The dispute centers on the funding and acquisition of the tanker, with ANC alleging misconduct or unfair treatment toward municipalities aligned with the party. Other details around the procurement—including any findings, timelines, or responses from the MEC or provincial departments—are not included in the material provided.
Across coverage, the core issue remains the same: the ANC publicly challenges Buthelezi’s role amid allegations tied to the uMkhanyakude tanker contract and the alleged effects on ANC-led local authorities.
