UDM threatens to leave NMB coalition
The United Democratic Movement (UDM) has given the Democratic Alliance (DA) until Monday to reinstate Nelson Mandela Bay deputy mayor Mongameli Bobani.
The DA passed a vote of no confidence in Bobani in the Nelson Mandela Bay legislature yesterday.
UDM leader Bantu Holomisa says the party wrote a letter to the DA demanding Bobani's reinstatement.
Holomisa says they are unhappy with the manner in which Bobani was removed as deputy mayor.
"For the DA to use their newly-wedded partner, Patriotic Alliance, to push the UDM out of the coalition.
"We strongly feel that the DA has violated the coalition agreement," Holomisa says.
