Msimanga honoured, humbled after surviving vote of no confidence
Executive Mayor of Tshwane Solly Msimanga says he is honoured and humbled to have survived a second attempt to have him unseated as mayor through a motion of no confidence.
The ANC brought the motion on Thursday.
"We saw today that the ANC could not put anything of substance forward to justify the motion of no confidence," Msimanga said outside the council chambers after the failed vote.
A total of 77 council members voted in favour of the motion, 95 voted against it and 21 abstained, including the Economic Freedom Fighters.
Msimanga clarified that the EFF's abstinence was not a sign that the DA and the red berets had mended their relationship.
