ActionSA lines up no confidence motion in Johannesburg mayor after failure to 'clear his name': ActionSA has announced the commencement of a process aimed at unseating Johannesburg mayor Kabelo Gwamanda, saying he has consistently ducked from media…
He said his party reached out to the DA on May 15 seeking a meeting about all parties discussing the need for a motion of no confidence in the wake of the Carte Blanche allegations.
However, it is said the DA has failed to respond to these requests despite several parties in the “moonshot” pact discussions observing the importance of repairing the reputational damage to the confidence in its multiparty coalition project at a local level. “The motion is due to be heard in the council meeting scheduled for June 20-21 and is typically conducted by an open show of hands. ActionSA welcomes this transparent process to distinguish between parties that merely talk about building an alternative to the ANC from those parties that are committed to building the alternative in South Africa.”
Ngobeni said the city deserved better than a mayor from a two-seat party that cannot be trusted by his own coalition partners to answer simple and direct questions about the allegations he faces. “It demonstrates how his leadership of the city is nothing more than a charade while the ANC and EFF implement their real agenda with the benefit of being able to deny they were in charge.”
