Speaker threatens Herald The Midlands

Surya Pillay, speaker of uMngeni

Council, threatened to have Herald editor
Russell Barnes thrown out the next time he

five managers were granted their controver-
sial “performance bonuses” by an ANC
majority vote.

article on 16th July, “Howick Boss’ big bo-
nus”, as saying that her only comment was
that she is fed up with DA councillors dis-
crediting ANC councillors.
