The South African Royal Kingdom organisation councillor and MMC for Finance Integrated Development Plan Napo Letlala, AIC Councillor MMC for Community Safety Herry Mdakane, ANC Councillor Mabitle Moloi, EFF councillor Chicco Mkhwanazi could be seen on the trending video physically fighting.

Dlamini has kicked out the fighting councillors and announced in the seating that council will launch a proper investigation.

In an interview with Daily Sun, Dlamini said the councillors brought up the topic of exhuming a dead body, accusing the implicated councillor to the matter.

"I will institute the investigations and provide the council with a report. We condemn the scaffolding especially in the councillor seating. The main cause of the chaotic situation was the undermining remarks towards councillor Mabitle who was accused for exhuming a corpse," he said.
