When he spent the entire night on Friday with his family spinning state vehicles with their blue lights flashing all over the area, the newly-elected mayor of Nongoma created a sensation.
Mshangane Ndabandaba of the National Freedom Party was celebrating his victory as the new mayor of the community after he turned against IFP veteran politician Albert Mngcwango and ousted him from the position.
While partying it up in the Toyota Prado and Toyota Legend 50 bakkie owned by the municipality, Ndabandaba’s family could be heard yelling and ululating.
The partying and singing, according to one of the inhabitants, kept them up till the wee hours of Saturday morning.
“At first, I assumed he had purchased the cars, but later I learned they were municipal cars because bodyguards were driving them.” He said they continued to honk and flash blue lights.
Scrolla.Africa was informed by another neighbour that “I won’t lie. We enjoyed ourselves.”
The trend of KwaZulu-Natal politicians and their families celebrating their access to state assets began in 2017 when former IFP Nquthu mayor Mabilabila Kunene took the mayoral chain to his family kraal and reported to the ancestors that he had become mayor, showing them the chain.
