The African National Congress ANC has welcomed the reinstatement of Siphile Mdaka as mayor of the uMkhanyakude District Municipality, KwaZulu-Natal, after weeks of coalition tensions.
Mdakas return follows a new arrangement negotiated between the ANC and the Inkatha Freedom Party IFP. This reversed his earlier ousting through a vote of no confidence.
The ANC had retaliated by ending its working relations with the IFP in Umvoti Local Municipality.
