GOOD committed to the rule of law in the Johannesburg City Council
9 September 2022
The GOOD party stands in support of the rule of law in the City of Johannesburg amid disputes about the appointment of new Speaker in council.
Last week, GOOD supported the motion of no confidence against Speaker, Vasco da Gama, after he abused the position of Speaker to shield the government from Council and public scrutiny, and to undermine transparency.
Since then, the chair of chairs Colleen Makhubele has issued a notice for an extraordinary meeting of council to take place on Tuesday, 13 September as part of what she claims is her role as Acting City of Joburg speaker.
GOOD takes note of this notice and the decision from the office of the city manager to apply for an interdict against the notice.
