Power, Politics & Corruption: The Battle for KwaDukuza Ward 28

Loading player...
KwaDukuza heads into a high-stakes by-election in Ward 28 on April 2, marking the first time the MK Party will contest a seat previously held by the ANC. Tensions are high, with accusations of voter rigging already surfacing. The IEC has confirmed the date and wrapped up voter registration—but is everything above board?

We also unpack the electricity crisis hitting businesses, the new mayor’s R300,000 car rental scandal, and just how deep tender fraud runs in the municipality. Plus, an update on the R35.7 million that vanished from the municipality’s bank account.
