Cape Town - The ANC caucus in the City council has called for the suspension of mayor Dan Plato following what they say was a defiance of a directive by Local Government MEC Anton Bredell to councillors not to distribute food aid.
“The City has not taken a decision to distribute food aid. All we know is that mayor Plato is conniving in secret with donors for aid, which he then distributes to DA supporters. Sontashe said the ANC was planning to report the mayor to the speaker of the Council and also the Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs Portfolio Committee in the National Assembly.
"We want Dan Plato to be suspended and for MEC Bredell as well as the DA Western Cape leader to act against him," said Sontashe.
