Pumlani Mkolo, the man believed to be the mastermind behind the Mandela funeral scandal in the Buffalo City metro, has been re-elected unopposed as the ANC’s regional secretary.

His election comes at a time when the provincial executive committee (PEC) of the ANC placed him on special leave following the Mandela funeral scandal.

Mkolo was regional secretary of Buffalo City in 2013 when late former president Nelson Mandela died. He is currently facing fraud and money laundering charges in the East London Magistrates’ Court after he allegedly used his influence to siphon off millions from city coffers.
