The Western Cape African National Congress has reportedly stripped the mayor of Stellenbosch of his powers.

It is believed that mayor Patrick Swartz put the Stellenbosch municipal manager Ian Kenred on special leave after he exposed an alleged corrupt municipal tender application.

The ANC’s AndrĂ© Gaum says Kenred had been reinstated.

Gaum says the council’s decision was unavoidable.

It is not clear who will take up the mayoral seat of the Boland town.
