Mashaba faces motion of no confidence

The ANC cites 'financial distress' in the City as the primary grounds for the motion of no confidence. The motion will be debated during the council meeting scheduled for the 26th and 27th September.

The city's Luyanda Mfeka says after only 13 months in office, this move should be dismissed as the antics of a desperate party trying to come to terms with its new role in opposition

"The reality is that despite the institutionalised corruption inherited, we have a financial state that is stable. The ANC was dishonest in government, and their relationship with the truth has continued its demise" Mfeka said.

The ANC's Jolidee Matongo says they have also filed a motion of no confidence against the council's speaker Vasco Da Gama

"We believe Mashaba has failed to run the city to the expectations of residents. Da Gama has failed to hold the executive to account" Matongo said.
