‘ANC, EFF want their hands on Gauteng metros’: Joburg coalition unhappy over Vasco da Gama outcome
)-led coalition met to discuss the outcome of the motion and has since voiced their discontent on the matter.
“Parties expressed their disappointment at the behaviour of some councillors who appear to have been motivated by the ANC and its voting partners to betray the coalition agreement and the residents of Johannesburg,” the opposition said in a statement on Thursday.
“The effort to induce the support of individual councillors from the coalition is clearly an effort to violate the wishes of residents and return to a government that will continue the era of failed delivery, state capture and looting. This is what is at stake, and this is what the multi-party coalition will work night and day to prevent,” they added.
“The motion succeeding against the Speaker of Council is an obstacle, but the multiparty coalition reiterates that the executive remains hard at work delivering services to the people of Johannesburg.”
