DA denies claims of councillor's removal due to sangoma practices

THE DA in Tshwane has dismissed claims that its former ward 98 councillor Nosipho Mtakati was removed from her position for being a sangoma.
The DA said Mtakati, who is set to contest the ward 98 by-election tomorrow under the EFF banner, was actually expelled from the DA due to poor performance and allegations of being intoxicated on multiple occasions.
The allegations that Mtakati was removed from the DA due to her sangoma practices emerged during a campaign stop ahead of the by-election, where both Matakati and EFF regional leader Obakeng Ramabodu made the claim.
Ramabodu accused the DA of actively pursuing a campaign to replace black leaders at both national and local government levels, adding that Mtakati's removal from the party stemmed from her being a sangoma.
