Opposition parties in the KwaDukuza local municipality on the KwaZulu-Natal north coast have welcomed a significant decision by the African National Congress (ANC). The ANC has ordered the recall of mayor Muzi Ngidi and his deputy Njabulo Cele. This decision comes after a scandal-riddled eight months in office for both officials. Furthermore, the ANC has instructed Ngidi and Cele to repay a portion of funds to the municipality. This development, reported on July 4, 2025, marks a notable turn of events in the KwaDukuza local government.
