The metro has been without a political leadership since the dramatic exit of former mayor Randall Williams and his mayoral committee last week. A legal opinion sought by the council on Monday said Williams’s first resignation was binding, allowing it to elect a new leadership as soon as possible. The provincial leader also alleged that the coalition was “under constant attack from the ANC and EFF”, which required “sustained effort to hold the coalition parties together”.The ANC, EFF and ActionSA blame the DA for bringing the city to its knees with poor financial management, including an allegation that R10bn cannot be accounted for under the current administration.
Msimanga described Brink as “an expert on local government”. “He understands the laws and regulations that have bearing on municipal finances, and the importance of making a success of the one multiparty coalition in Gauteng that enjoys a majority in the municipal council. ActionSA national chair Michael Beaumont felt that Brink has a controversial history with the municipality and that this was a demonstration of the untenable position the DA found itself in.
