A Deep Dive into the Alleged Capture of KwaDukuza Municipality (Part 1)

Loading player...
This week on Uncensored, we investigate the inner workings of a local government where political power, silence, and money collide and where, according to some, mafia-like elements operate at the highest levels.

In Part 1, we ask: is the recent mayoral recall the beginning of a clean-up or is the ANC’s political machinery simply replacing its parts to protect the same system?
We speak to Councillor Commie Nhtleko, Chairperson of the Independent Alliance and one of the earliest voices to challenge the now-recalled mayor and his deputy. From leaked documents to political retaliation, Nhtleko walks us through the warning signs and how power was abused from the start.
