A conflict is brewing between Kwazulu Natal Mayor Chris Pappa and Premier Nomusa Dube-Ncube over her service delivery imbizo.
The imbizo is scheduled for Saturday, 15 July at Mpophomeni Stadium, where the local municipality is also expected to host a sports event on the same day.
Pappas’ saw red after Dube-Ncube took a swipe at him on Tuesday during her media session at a meeting of poorly-performing KZN municipalities in Durban by labelling his move as a “feeble and illegal attempt to interfere with a government imbizo”.
The Mayor then accused Dube-Ncube of not following the correct way in organising the imbizo.
Pappas shot back saying there are several irregularities with the event and the imposition of an intervention on uMngeni.
Dube-Ncube insists her imbizo will go ahead on Saturday but Pappas said the Premier is welcome to host her imbizo, but not at the stadium.
