According to Caxton Network News, a staff member who allegedly raised the alarm and reported the matter to the Human Rights Commission has since been dismissed.
The Metsimaholo Local Municipality has also spoken out, with Mayor Jack Malindi slamming the stunt as "degrading, divisive, and racially charged."
"This is not just offensive, it's a blatant attack on the dignity of our leaders and our democratic values," said Malindi.
He added: "We cannot allow this kind of behaviour to take root in our communities. It sets us back and threatens the unity we have fought so hard to build."
