Ingquza Hill Local Municipality held an urgent council meeting which started with the reading of Capa’s resignation as the speaker of the council. Moments later Nonkosi Pepping was nominated for the position and without any objections, she got sworn in. After the swearing-in of the speaker, Acting Mayor Bulelani Mvulane forwarded his resignation. Mvulane’s resignation led to the nomination of Capa Zoleka, Capa’s daughter who hails from Siphaqeni, Flagstaff. After she has been sworn in she welcomed the position.
