DA notes motion in mayor Mokgalapa

26 November 2019

The Democratic Alliance (DA) notes that the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) has tabled a motion of no confidence in DA-led Tshwane Mayor Stevens Mokgalapa.

The DA has made great progress since taking over the City of Tshwane administration in 2016 and we will continue to put the residents first in delivering quality services.

Furthermore, the DA leadership met with Mayor Mokgalapa yesterday and today to discuss the serious allegations made against him and Member of the Mayoral Committee (MMC) for Transport Councillor Sheila Senkubuge, claimed to be supported by an audio clip that is being widely distributed.

The DA has instituted a Federal Legal Commission investigation where Mayor Mokgalapa and MMC Sheila Senkubuge will be given the opportunity to present their version of events.

In consideration of clause 2b) of the Code of Conduct for Councillors, the Speaker of the DA-led Tshwane Council has also referred the matter to the Ethics Committee for further investigation.

The DA is committed to provide clean governance and acts appropriately when such serious allegations arise.
