The Daily Maverick travelled to Tlokwe in the North-West province on Friday to meet with the city’s new mayor Annette Combrink and some of the expelled ANC councillors, whose stand against corruption played a major role in the DA’s recent victory. Combrink, a self-described tough cookie, who recently held the mayorship for three months, said she wouldn’t tolerate nonsense and is confident that this time round the DA can maintain power. But, while she celebrates her win, the 14 errant ANC councillors who abstained from voting on Tuesday for their allegedly corrupt mayor, Maphetle Maphetle, have been expelled from the ANC and lost their jobs. Some have even received death threats. By JESSICA EATON & THAPELO LEKGOWA.
