Tshwane special council meeting marred by disruptions
16 January 2020
The Tshwane special council meeting, scheduled to hear motions of no confidence against the mayor and speaker, has been marred by disruptions, scuffles and the attempted removal of an EFF councillor.
The sitting, which got underway on Thursday morning, descended into chaos as the EFF and ANC argued with Speaker Katlego Mathebe about the sequence of the motions of no confidence.
Motions of no confidence were tabled against Mayor Stevens Mokgalapa, Mathebe, the acting speaker Zweli Khumalo and the chair of chairs.
The ANC and EFF maintained that they should set up the sequence of the motions, which had already been set by Mathebe.
