DA vindicated as MEC echoes calls for the dissolution of Ekurhuleni Council
5 April 2024
The Democratic Alliance (DA) in the City of Ekurhuleni acknowledges the Gauteng MEC for Co-operative Governance and Traditional Affairs, Mzi Khumalo’s pronouncement that Ekurhuleni’s Council has become a candidate for the dissolution of Council.
This comes after the EFF elected Speaker, Cllr Nthabiseng Tshivhenga postponed the extra-ordinary council sitting which was set to be convened yesterday in order to elect a new Executive Mayor.
The DA has been calling for the dissolution of council as we believe no number of motions of no confidence or re-elections of Executive Mayors can save the failing state of Ekurhuleni.
Communities across the city are held at ransom while the ANC and EFF play Russian Roulette with their lives, squabbling over positions and political power plays.
