Faction Fight: Deberha And Manxadanxada's Impact On An Eastern Cape Municipality

This book exposes the impact that the warring factions in the Eastern Cape Province of the African National Congress (ANC) have had on the administration of local municipalities. In addition to exposing events in this book for the attention of authorities, the author also hopes to inspire active citizenry in local government in order to disturb the current state of affairs in which Deberha and Manxadanxada's cronyism and patronage defines Eastern Cape municipalities.

About the author

After years of fighting apartheid through participation in the mass democratic movement, workers' struggle and ANC, Zandisile Maliti earned his LLM (Master of Laws in Labour Law) at Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University in 2016. After stints with the Eastern Cape Education Department and the National Educational, Health and Allied Workers' Union/NEHAWU (Matthew Goniwe Region and Head Office), he joined the Intsika Yethu Local Municipality in Cofimvaba in 2010. He worked in various managerial positions for almost 8 years, gaining an insider's insight into how local government works (or doesn't work!), and his knowledge of labour law was utilised by several other Eastern Cape municipalities in complex disciplinary cases. He currently runs a labour law consultancy, the Right to Fair Labour Practices Centre, in Queenstown.
