On Thursday, some ANC councillors attempted to disrupt the special council meeting to elect the new mayor, causing chaos in the council chamber.

ANC Limpopo spokesperson, Jimmy Machaka says, “The ANC in Limpopo Province, of course, is very disappointed about the outcomes of the Lephalale municipal council. Sadly, reports that we’re getting are that now the municipality is under the command of the Democratic Alliance, which is something that is contrary to the wishes of the voters of Lephalale municipality. The organisation will, of course, meet and reflect on this matter and decide on the next course of action.
