DA councillor Mokgadi Kganakga said an open vote would result in intimidation and violence, placing the lives of certain councillors at risk.
The DA has called for the motion of no confidence against the mayor of the embattled Mangaung Metropolitan Municipality, Olly Mlamleli, to be a secret vote.Speaking at a media briefing on Monday, DA councillor Mokgadi Kganakga said an open vote would result in intimidation and violence, placing the lives of certain councillors at risk “if found voting with their conscious instead of party lines or affiliation”.
The DA has placed the financial woes of the metro on Mlamleli’s doorstep. This after Deputy Finance Minister David Masondo announced in February its poor governance and budget management had led to the ineffectiveness of intervention.
