Ward committee selection process off to rocky start

The appointment of ward committees is off to a shaky start in the Eastern Cape, as political parties report irregularities in the nomination processes.

Several wards have already complained and reported the “flawed” process to their local leaders.

In Buffalo City Metro’s ward 20 in Mdantsane, rival parties have written to council speaker Alfred Mtsi, to alert him to alleged flaws in the selection process. This is after residents noticed that all nominees in the committee were ANC members.
