ActionSA's Herman Mashaba says Gwamanda should be removed as a councilor and as MMC.ActionSA leader Herman Mashaba says his party will submit a motion of no confidence against the Member of the Mayoral Committee of Community Development Kabelo Gwamanda this month.
Gwamanda, the former mayor of the City of Johannesburg and a councillor on the Mayoral Committee is currently on special leave after being charged with fraud after failing to give payouts to Soweto residents who took funeral and investment policies with his company.“He must go before Christmas. He did the crime now so he must face justice now. There is no need to delay his stay as an MMC nor as a councillor.
Mashaba said the motion would prove which political parties in the government of local unity are prepared to shield corruption and which ones want the best for the City. “If the mayor does not fire him , he will face this motion. The public will see on the day of the motion which party is willing to cover up corruption, and we will not tolerate it,” he said.According to the paper, the party’s Johannesburg chairperson, Thapelo Amad, said there are problems with the direction of the GLU.
“Our independence as a political party is of paramount importance. And we can never spectate as there is an attempt to co-opt the party into toeing a line of unknown masters. This has led to the Multi-Party Government subjecting itself to the approval of “big brother,” he said.“They have left the minority bloc within the GLU, but not the coalition.”However, other minority bloc members do not share the same view.
