# The EFF caucus in the Govan Mbeki Municipality in Mpumalanga says they are to open a contempt of court case against the municipality as they are defying a court order and show disrespect for the law. A spokesperson, Onesipho Songelwa, says this follows the mayor and speaker disobeying a court order to reinstate the municipal manager, Felani Mndebele, who was irregularly dismissed. He says they regard this as high treason. The Northern Gauteng High Court has issued an instruction that he must be reinstated with full pay and benefits.
