‘A THREAT TO GOOD GOVERNANCE’
Ex-mayor and now DA caucus leader in the metro Cilliers Brink said the three seats which have been given to the EFF in mayor Nasiphi Moya’s mayoral committee are bad news for clean administration and a pro-growth agenda.
Brink said the DA warned ActionSA and the ANC that their new coalition would give the balance of power in the capital city to the EFF
“The EFF is a party of hate, violence, and chaos. Its national leadership is implicated in theft of money from VBS Bank.
“One of the new EFF members of the Mayoral Committee is Obakeng Ramabodu, notorious for violent and racist outbursts on the floor of Tshwane’s city council.” he said.
