ANC takes Trollip to Public Protector ahead of vote of no confidence
15 August 2018
The African National Congress (ANC) says it has lodged five complaints against Nelson Mandela Bay Mayor Athol Trollip with Public Protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane.
The announcement, made on Tuesday, comes as a fourth round of motions of no confidence are tabled against Trollip, in a move by the opposition parties to oust the Democratic Alliance-led coalition government from the City.
Trollip has dismissed the move, saying that the complaints listed by the ANC have all been addressed and answered in council.
"These allegations have all been made before and have been answered, but they don't like the answers," he said.
