Ward 63 Court Case Postponed as Strong MK Party Presence Rallies Behind Mzwandile Ngema in Hillbrow

⚖️ Ward 63 Case Postponed — Strong MK Party Presence Signals Growing Mobilisation in Hillbrow

By Noko Maleka | Insight Jozi News | Johannesburg

JOHANNESBURG – Although the Ward 63 assault case was postponed to 24 March 2026 due to the reported ill health of ANC councillor Xolani Khumalo, the atmosphere outside court told a powerful story of solidarity and political mobilisation.

MK Party supporters arrived in strong and visible numbers, joined by members from multiple neighbouring wards. Their presence signalled growing political momentum ahead of the upcoming by-elections.

🔥 Energy, Solidarity and Determination

Supporters gathered peacefully but firmly, expressing their determination to see the matter through. Chants of accountability and justice echoed outside court as community members stood united.

One supporter told Insight Jozi News:

“This is not just about one person. It is about the dignity of Ward 63 and protecting our community from injustice.”

⚡ Ngema Celebrated by Supporters

At the centre of the solidarity is Mzwandile Ngema, who is alleged to be part of the Ward 63 MK Party leadership and the complainant in the case.

Supporters have been celebrating Ngema as a “hero” after allegations surfaced that he was offered money to withdraw the case. According to those backing him, he refused any alleged offer and chose instead to continue pursuing the matter in court.

Community members say his decision represents a stand for principle over personal gain, arguing that he chose to fight what they describe as injustice for the sake of the broader Johannesburg community.

📅 What Happens Next?

The case resumes on 24 March 2026. Until then, Ward 63 remains politically alert as mobilisation efforts continue.
