DA slams ‘backstabber’ ActionSA after Cilliers Brink is ousted as Tshwane mayor
However, the ANC has welcomed the removal of Cilliers Brink, saying his ousting is an early gift to the people of Tshwane.
The Democratic Alliance (DA) has accused ActionSA of sinking a functional government, and in doing so traded stability for chaos after Cilliers Brink was ousted as Tshwane mayor.
This comes as ActionSA which withdrew from the DA-led multi-party coalition in Tshwane supported the motion against Brink which was tabled by the African National Congress (ANC).
ANC WELCOMES THE LATEST DEVELOPMENTS IN THE CAPITAL CITY
The Blue Party also tried to negotiate with the ANC in order to save Brink, however, the ANC in Gauteng confirmed that it would also be supporting the motion.
Unsurprisingly, the ANC in Gauteng has welcomed Brink’s removal and said it marks the beginning of the re-strengthening of the City of Tshwane and Gauteng broadly.
“It is also an early gift to the people of Tshwane , who deserve a leadership that is intentional about bestowing the greatest gift to them – a more human face,” ANC Gauteng secretary Thembinkosi Nciza said.
Nciza said the DA-led multiparty government in the capital city is a perfect reflection of how the DA leads across the province.
“The maladministration and poor governance that was experienced in Tshwane was being experienced in the City of Ekurhuleni and the City of Johannesburg, where instability and racialism was the order of the day. This is how the DA governs – not the false image it has presented to the world,” Nciza added.
