Cllr Zulu was officially appointed as the District Mayor during a Special Council Meeting, where he was elected unopposed by the councillors in attendance.

It is worth remembering that the newly appointed mayor recently survived a failed assassination attempt.
On 16 November 2022, Cllr Zulu was speaking with the Dannhauser Municipality Mayor Sibusisio Kunene outside a business premise in Osizweni.
During this time, a car with seven men pulled up and some of the vehicle’s occupants jumped out and fired shots at him and the Dannhauser Mayor. Two of the suspects also robbed two Ethiopian shopkeepers of their vehicle.
The District Mayor and the Dannhauser Mayor chased the suspects down while calling the police for backup.

Let us pull our finger out and do something about it, please
