Multi-Party Coalition forges on to improve service delivery whilst the ANC continues with their political grandstanding
05 April 2022
The Democratic Alliance (DA) rejects the ANC in Ekurhuleni’s political grandstanding against the Multi-Party Coalition government, and their attacks on the City of Ekurhuleni's Executive Mayor, Ald Tania Campbell and Speaker, Cllr Raymond Dlamini.
Since last week, the ANC in Ekurhuleni has been on a media campaign to try to discredit the Multi-Party Coalition government in the City of Ekurhuleni after the ANC's attempts to derail the ordinary Council meeting failed.
The Ordinary Council meeting followed Mayor Campbell’s maiden State of the City Address. On the agenda was the crucial tabling of the draft budget and the Integrated Development Plan (IDP), which was essential to allow for public participation and eventual adoption of the budget.
Members of the ANC caucus used every opportunity to disrupt and obstruct the meeting, their actions, eventually, became threatening, which led to the Protection Services being called in to remove the ANC caucus leader, Ald Mzwandile Masina. The rest of the ANC caucus followed.
