Motion to impeach Zille fails
Cape Town – The ANC's bid to have Premier Helen Zille impeached has failed.
The party failed to convince 28 members of the legislature to vote to impeach Zille, over allegations of spying on the ANC.
Instead, the DA voted to amend the ANC’s motion to fully endorse Zille.
The motion was thrashed out in the provincial legislature on Tuesday, where party leaders took turns to air dirty laundry under the guise of debate.
This after the ANC brought the motion to the legislature, following accusations by the opposition party that Zille used government resources to employ a private company to “do debugging”, which the party suggested was used for bugging instead.
