ActionSA heads to court over Tshwane council’s 'unlawful adjournment'
ActionSA wants the courts to overturn what they believe to be Tshwane Coincil Speaker Mncedi Nzwanana's unlawful decision to reject a no-confidence motion against himself.
The party on Thursday brought a motion of no confidence against the speaker during a council sitting.
But Nzwanana rejected the motion.
ActionSA says this is the second time the speaker has rejected the motion against him.
"Our approach to the courts is premised on the reality that the multi-party coalition in Tshwane will not achieve stability with an ANC/EFF sponsored speaker at the helm to facilitate their unlawful power grabs,” said ActionSA spokesperson Thabang Sebotsane.
"The shenanigans are characteristic of the EFF-ANC unholy alliance and is a clear indication that if Nzwanana is left to preside over council, the work of council will continue to be frustrated - thereby reducing the efficient operations of the city.”
Sebotsane said the party will therefore head to court to ensure that the “proper functioning of council is restored”.
"ActionSA will continue to place the needs of the residents of Tshwane first and will not allow the ANC and EFF to get away by playing political games. We believe that the courts are the only remaining option, and we look forward to the matter being resolved soon."
