The ANC top brass has rushed through to the Kannaland Municipality after speaker Nicolaas Valentyn participated in a council sitting.Valentyn says he was unaware he was not allowed to preside over the council sitting.
"The ANC will take a position where it does not participate in decisions that are detrimental to the larger community of Kannaland. We will only make decisions regarding service delivery." Valentyn added he had requested clarity, in writing, about his position if and when he moved into the opposition benches.
"There is no immediate effect, and the council meeting was already scheduled. I accept the decision of the ANC and will resign as a speaker and go to the opposition benches," he said. This after Icosa leader Jeffery Donson, a convicted child rapist, was elected as mayor and convicted fraudster and fellow party member Werner Meshoa as deputy mayor.
