Following a brief adjournment, Nzwanana postponed Wednesday’s council meeting “until further notice” to deal with the issue surrounding Sefanyetso.
“Having spoken to the relevant people, I made a decision that based on the highly requested information on Friday, that I must seek legal advice and again today that is the route I’m going to take. “I’m doing this because if I allow political issues in this council, they will keep on emerging and we won’t be able to proceed with the business of the day,” the speaker said.Speaking to the media after the sitting, Cope Tshwane spokesperson, Brian Mkhono voiced the regional party’s support for Sefanyetso.Mkhono criticised and laid the blame on City of Joburg speaker and the party’s provincial co-ordinator Colleen Makhubele for causing confusion in council.
“The council of Johannesburg is supposed to be sitting today, but she is in this council doing what. She is not supposed to be here, but she is here to push her own agenda. Be that as it may, this is not a romantic party, this is not the Bold and the Beautiful. If people want boyfriends and girlfriends, it has to happen elsewhere not here in the City of Tshwane,” he continued.He also dismissed the allegation of Sefanyetso having two ID numbers.
“It is just a typo matter that has happened from the side of IEC [Independent Electoral Commission]. There is only one ID. The question of the criminal record is also nonsense.”“Now we have people who are delinquents who cannot explain the difference between a criminal record and a traffic offence.”
