The elusive Mayor of Newcastle, Cllr Ntuthuko Mhlaba, who is finally due in court following a barrage of charges including theft and assault must step aside.

It is a matter of public record that, like his counterparts in the Cities of Johannesburg and Tshwane, the Mayor contracted Covid-19 in early July, of which the residents we were properly informed.
