Mpumalanga ANC politician, Mandla Msibi, has returned to his position as provincial treasurer after serving a year-long suspension.
Msibi was frozen out from ANC activities and had to resign as legislature member after the National Disciplinary Committee (NDC) upheld his suspension on misconduct charges last year.
The Provincial Disciplinary Committee suspended Msibi for three years, two years of which were suspended, in April 2024 after he was accused of goading community members in Pienaar to disrupt the January 8 ANC celebrations.
The reason put forward for this accusation was that Msibi and the community demanded that President Cyril Ramaphosa must personally address them about the progress of the R8.3 billion Nkosi City development.
Msibi was among people who mooted the establishment of the modern agri-city on the outskirts of Pienaar, east of the Kruger National Park, 13 years ago when he was a ward councillor in the City of Mbombela.
He said that the party’s officials welcomed him on Monday. “The meeting went very well. We’re ready to get down to work for the ANC,” Msibi said.
Provincial ANC secretary, Muzi Chirwa, said in a statement that it was in the spirit of party’s Constitution not to stifle debate and internal democracy but to create a cohesive organisation.
“It is against this background that the provincial office bearers welcomed Cde Mandla Msibi, thanked him for his conduct during the difficult period of his suspension and wished him well as he resumed his duties which are clearly articulated in the ANC Constitution,” Chirwa said.
Msibi kept himself busy during his suspension by starting the Mandla Msibi Foundation, which has been doing community work.
Before the May 29 general elections Msibi was Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs MEC in former premier Refilwe Mtshweni-Tsipane’s cabinet.
Nkosi City has been approved by government. It aims to provide much-needed jobs, settlements for both the rich and poor, schools and malls.
According to Dovetail Properties, which develops Nkosi City, one of the most interesting aspects of the development is that of the urban farm concept.
It will combine low-cost houses with farm portions totalling 240 ha, which are designated for intensive agriculture.
Through offtake agreements, the company says in its website, from major supermarket groups and agricultural specialist training, the development aims to uplift and create change for the residents. There is also a hemp farming initiative in the pipeline.
