Former Amathole district mayor is to go on trial in June over R2.5-million the municipality donated to a beauty pageant in 2015.
The politician was reduced to tears yesterday after learning her trial would not go ahead as scheduled because her co-accused and political ally, ANC councillor Nanziwe Rulashe, was not present.
She appeared in court alongside her three other co-accused, namely Sigcinile Saba, Mawande Njeza and Rulashe’s younger sister Anita.
The accused were all arrested in May last year.
