The ANC and the EFF are making 'a desperate attempt to save face' by appealing the High Court in Pretoria's ruling overturning the Gauteng government's dissolution of the City of Tshwane council, the DA said.
Pretoria - The African National Congress and the Economic Freedom Fighters are making "a desperate attempt to save face" by appealing the High Court in Pretoria's ruling overturning the Gauteng government's dissolution of the City of Tshwane council, the Democratic Alliance said on Saturday.
As such, until these appeals are dealt with, the dissolution of the Tshwane council remained in effect. Further details on the way forward and the DA’s legal strategy would be provided on Sunday in a Zoom press conference, Williams said. The original judgment which declared the dissolution of Tshwane unlawful was clear in stating that the problems facing the City of Tshwane were not of the DA’s making, but rather the result of the ANC and EFF councillors repeatedly disrupting and collapsing council meetings and sabotaging the work of the Tshwane council.
It was clear that neither the ANC nor the EFF were prepared to consider any introspection on their disruptive conduct in the city and the role they had played in driving the political instability within the council.
