Buffalo City Metro (BCM) ANC Ward 20 councillor Ntombizodwa Gamnca was found guilty of charges of robbery and intimidation and slapped with a R10,000 fine at the East London magistrate’s court on Thursday. She also received a four-year suspended sentence.
NPA spokesperson Tshepo Ndwalaza confirmed the sentence.
Gamnca was accused of hurling insults and threats of assault at fellow ANC member Mkhuseli “Gidla” Nombewu in 2018.
She was also accused of stealing Nombewu’s cellphone, which almost led to a brawl between the two at the party’s BCM regional offices in December. She was arrested and released on R500 bail.
Gamnca is currently the subject of a police investigation after several Mdantsane residents filed complaints against the ward councillor earlier this month.
She is being accused of selling houses to residents and failing to deliver title deeds to them.
Nombewu said he pressed charges against Gamnca because he grew tired of her hurling insults at him.
Attempts to reach Gamnca were unsuccessful...
