ActionSA has approached the courts in a bid to compel Tshwane council speaker Mncedi Ndzwanana to surrender to a no-confidence motion against him.
ActionSA Gauteng chairperson Funzi Ngobeni said the court bid was a last resort as Ndzwanana has been blocking attempts to remove him as speaker on “frivolous grounds”.
“ActionSA does not believe the speaker should be allowed to misuse rules to shield himself from the democratic accountability principle of a no-confidence motion. We cannot allow the Tshwane council to disintegrate into chaos and will therefore head to court to ensure the proper functioning of the council is restored,” he said.
TimesLIVE has seen the founding affidavit and papers filed to the high court. A court date has not yet been set. Ngobeni said his party was taking this route as Ndzwanana's position was premised on the reality that the DA-led multiparty coalition in Tshwane will not achieve stability with an “ANC/EFF sponsored speaker at the helm facilitating their unlawful power grabs”.
