This is not the first time the DA has filed a ‘motion of no confidence’ against Mayor Madlala. In March 2020, at the time of a protest that brought Ladysmith to a state of shutdown, the DA tabled a ‘motion of no confidence’ that was not successful.
The DA wants Mayor Madlala to be stripped of the privileges assigned to him, including the use of his municipal luxury vehicle and his VIP protection services.
