ANC's legal bid to nullify Tshwane council sitting dismissed
28 January 2019
The ANC's legal bid for the nullification of the September 27 Tshwane council sitting where Mayor Solly Msimanga survived the party's motion of no confidence against him has failed after being dismissed by the Gauteng High Court in Pretoria.
Last year, the ANC in Tshwane approached the court on an urgent basis to have the council sitting declared void and to allow for a motion of no confidence to take place through a secret ballot.
This after a second motion brought by the ANC to have Msimanga removed was unsuccessful in September.
A total of 77 council members voted in favour of the motion, 95 voted against and 21 members, including those from the EFF, abstained.
