ANC confident it will sway smaller parties in motion against Mashaba
The ANC's motion of no confidence against Johannesburg Mayor Herman Mashaba is about saving the City, the party's regional chairperson, Geoff Makhuba, said on Friday.
The party confirmed it would table a motion of no confidence against Mashaba on August 22, the same day he was elected into power.
"The change introduced by the DA-led administration has resulted in mismanagement, maladministration and poor service delivery under the watch of councillor Mashaba. It is on this basis of these reasons and many more, which can be provided, that the ANC in Johannesburg has lost confidence him," Makhuba said.
Under Mashaba, the ANC said, the City had accumulated irregular expenditure of R2.7bn as a result of non-compliance and disregard for procurement processes.
"We are convinced that with the current leadership, the City will be unable to meet the January 2020 deadline to comply with provisions of the municipal standard chart of accounts and this will adversely affect the people of Johannesburg," Makhuba added.
