EFF councillors stormed Tshwane mayor Randall Williams’ office on Thursday morning, demanding all members of the mayoral committee and political staff vacate their offices.
“Simply unacceptable. This is a political stunt by the EFF. They ambushed us and they had camera crews with them, which means their aim was to humiliate our staff and attack staff in front of live cameras, hence they tipped the media to follow them.
“This is nothing more than a political stunt in an attempt to try to be relevant in Tshwane. Williams has resigned on his own — he was not pushed out in council or voted out in council, so he has a right to resign on this date,” he said. Stuurman said Wednesday's council meeting was cancelled after the speaker received legal advice that Williams' resignation letter for February 28 was valid.
“Anybody trying to say the letter is not valid, these people are driving their own political agenda. They are trying to take advantage of the situation and that can never be acceptable. “How they treated the mayoral staff is not acceptable. How they frogmarched staff out of the office is not acceptable. Fortunately we do not have serious injuries but their behaviour is unacceptable.”
