This comes as the ANC in Josiah Gumede Region accused the IFP of failing to run the UThukela District and Inkosi Langalibalele Municipalities well.

The ANC's regional spokesperson, Sipho Ndaba, accused the IFP of collapsing the UThukela District Municipality.

"It is no coincidence that UThukela District Municipality has been struggling to cope with keeping water in our taps throughout the district.

"This has negatively impacted our communities as well as businesses alike. People have lost faith in the IFP due to their perpetual inability to provide basic services.

"This fact cannot be ignored nor reversed. It is there for everyone to see," the spokesperson said.
