ANC Ekurhuleni chair Mzwandile Masina is expected to resign as a councillor on Thursday, effectively avoided a disciplinary hearing.
He is also expected to apologise to ANC members for destabilising coalition negotiations the party was having with the EFF in its attempt to regain the Ekurhuleni municipality.The ANC in Gauteng earlier this month resolved to charge Masina for defying the party and bringing it into disrepute.
This after he went ahead with a motion of no confidence in DA mayor Tania Campbell earlier this month, despite warnings from the PEC that it was still negotiating a deal with the EFF. According to insiders, the motion was premature as provincial leaders had not concluded their discussions with the red berets.TimesLIVE further understands that Masina was on Thursday attending a council meeting, where he is expected to tender his resignation.
“The PWC wishes comrade Mzwandile well in his endeavours and thanks him for leading one of the most stable, innovative and well-run municipalities for the past five years as a mayor,” Makhubela said. “The city of Ekurhuleni, under the stewardship and exemplary leadership of comrade Mzwandile Masina and his collective, was a model for good governance.”MORE
