It appears that the fight which is also influenced more by the Langa royal family division frustrates members of the community. Now the supporters of Chief Malesela Langa II are threatening to take the law into their own hands if the department of Cooperative Governance Human Settlements and Traditional Affairs (COGHSTA) in the province continue to fail them.

ELECTION times have arrived in South Africa and political parties are trying hard to convince and attract the voters. In almost every area volunteers of several political parties are seen doing door-to-door campaigns. They even get to the areas they never entered since their last election campaigns in 2016. It is a common knowledge to some of the communities especially those who lack certain services that they get more visits from politicians more than before. More food parcels and promises of some sorts from politicians from different formations will be witnessed more than before as way of trying to get sympathy from the poor voters to give them a chance. Street lights in the villages and towns are packed with political posters bearing faces of the leaders. That takes place as part of their strategy to attract voters and make them to be familiar with the faces to be voted for during the elections. However, the municipal by-laws states that those who want to advertise on thei...
