ANC’s court application against Tshwane city council is pure opportunism and sour grapes
9 October 2018
The ANC's application to the court to set aside the Tshwane City Council meeting of 27 September is nothing but pure opportunism and sour grapes because the coalition government succeeded in thwarting the ANC's attempt to bring the Council to a fall in the last council meeting.
In the council meeting held on the 27th of September 2018, the ANC's motion of no confidence in the mayor failed and the coalition government, in which the FF Plus is the second largest party, came out stronger on the other side.
The FF Plus supports the City Council in opposing the court application and confirms its commitment to the coalition government. We may not allow the ANC to regain control of Pretoria ever again.
The ANC's court application is a desperate attempt to save face after the failed motion of no confidence and it is also aimed at creating an opportunity to table a similar motion sooner than the rules of order allow.
