Khotsong-bothaville Residents Protest, Demand Leaders Removal

Khotsong-Bothaville in the Free State has been brought to a standstill as angry community members launched a shutdown to protest poor service delivery.

Roads were barricaded with stones and burning tyres, forcing schools and businesses to close.

The community is demanding the removal of the Nala Municipality mayor, municipal manager, and chief financial officer, accusing them of corruption and mismanagement.

Residents blame the leadership for failing to hold council meetings for the past nine months and for neglecting their needs.
