EFF statement on the collapse of Rand West District Municipal Council
24 March 2023
The Economic Freedom Fighters Gauteng condemns the selfish and childish behaviour of the DA councillors in the West Rand District Municipal Council.
In an attempt to delay the inevitable, the DA through its Speaker and councillors, a council meeting that was correctly called according to the standing rules and orders of the council and Municipal Structures Act; they disrupted the proceedings and eventually a walkout, thus collapsing the seating without suggesting an alternative date for reconvening.
Among other items in the agenda were motions of no confidence on the Speak, Executive Mayor and Council Chief Whip, all by the DA.
The DA's continued insistence on presiding over a council in which they no longer enjoy majority in, speaks to its racist superiority master-slave complex; where white people believe that it is their God-given right to lead the affairs of the people without democratically acquiring their consent.
