Buffalo City metro mayor Xola Pakati has requested a meeting with the ANC’s national officials after he was recalled by the provincial executive committee, claiming he was a victim of an unfair process.
Mail & Guardian,had ambushed him during a meeting of the WB Rubusana regional general council, telling him that he had been recalled with the blessing of the ANC’s top seven officials.
“ANC’s approach to this matter has, at all times, been informed by the interests of the Buffalo City broader community. The provincial leadership has ever since submitted three names to the national officials for the purposes of the interview process, after which all other processes will kick-in,” it said. understands those three names include deputy mayor Princess Faku, council speaker Humphrey Maxegwana, and member of the mayoral committee for human settlements Ntombizandile Mhlola.
“I wish to point out the falsity of the reasons that are being advanced. For the falsity of the reasons advanced I would like to humbly request a meeting with the national officials to engage me in a comradery manner … I believe that as an organisation we should think deeply about the wider political implications of our decision making on the integrity of the ANC,” he said, adding that he accepted the decision on his recall.
“In all these platforms, no mention was ever made of total collapse or that I lack urgency. Instead, there were directives for us to work hard on certain areas and I believe the resolutions of the REC lekgotla can best shed light on this,” he wrote.
