Attempts to have an Amathole District Municipality ANC councillor and well-known boxing promoter cleared of wrongdoing were thwarted at a council meeting on Monday.
Former Amathole district municipality member of the mayoral committee for engineering and infrastructure services Nomfesane Nyatela has blamed her troubles with the law on politics now playing out in the municipality. She singled out her refusal to withdraw an affidavit in support of a court application by former municipal manager Thandekile Mnyimba in his bid to get his job back.
