Stalled negotiations between ANC and EFF forced a postponement of the council sitting to elect a new Ekurhuleni mayor on Wednesday afternoon.
In return, the EFF would ensure ANC was installed in Johannesburg while further negotiations would ensue in Tshwane.
This was rejected by the DA. The ANC at the time could also not agree to the same proposal with its national executive committee vehemently rejecting the proposal. Instead the EFF then took a decision to vote with the DA despite them turning down their proposal. Speaker Raymond Dhlamini said he will schedule a new council sitting to elect a mayor within seven days.
