Mashaba motion of no confidence: DA hasn't ruled out talking to EFF
7 August 2019
While the DA has expressed full confidence in City of Johannesburg Mayor Herman Mashaba, it will have to rely on other parties to secure his victory in an ANC-sponsored motion of no confidence against him in a few weeks.
On Monday, the ANC in Johannesburg announced that the council's programming committee had accepted its request for a motion of no confidence against Mashaba, which will go ahead on August 22.
The party has accused him of bringing financial ruin to the city and wants to have him removed.
Previously, the DA relied on its coalition with smaller parties and its informal relationship with the EFF to govern the city and pass its budgets.
