A KwaZulu-Natal mayor and two of his alleged accomplices were arrested in a predawn raid by the Hawks on Thursday.

The three‚ who are in their 30s‚ were expected to appear in the Estcourt Magistrate's Court shortly.

Specialised teams intercepted information of a plot to allegedly assassinate the municipal speaker‚ said Hawks spokesperson Captain Simphiwe Mhlongo.

"The three suspects - the mayor‚ a councillor and an [alleged] hit man - allegedly planned an assassination plot against the municipal Speaker‚ who is [thought] to be an obstacle in the awarding of a tender. It is understood the Speaker allegedly suspected undue influence and possible corruption in the process.

Mhlongo said the three would be charged with conspiracy to commit murder.
