The City of Tshwane is still without a mayor after a council meeting to elect a new one collapsed on Friday night.
The Democratic Alliance (DA)-led multiparty coalition walked out in the middle of the meeting over the speaker’s refusal to remove two ActionSA councillors who had their memberships terminated by their party.
The councillors told the publication they received their termination letters after the council meeting started, arguing that they could participate in the vote.
They were expelled from ActionSA for allegedly voting with the African National Congress (ANC), Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) coalition to install Congress of the People’s (Cope) Murunwa Makwarela as mayor.
Due to the departure of the members of the coalition, council could not form a quorum, meaning that speaker Mncedi Ndzwanana needed to adjourn the meeting to a later date.
DA caucus leader Cilliers Brink said that the coalition could not participate in what he called an illegal election.
“The law is clear, once the membership of a councillor of a political party is terminated, that person is no longer a councillor, but it’s clear that the ANC-EFF coalition depends for its victory… electing its puppet mayor, on the support of those two expelled ActionSA members.”
