The DA Joburg Caucus said in a statement that they thanked Ngoveni for his contributions to the party and leading the caucus.
"It is with regret that we note and accept the resignation of Cllr Funzi Ngobeni, as a member of the Democratic Alliance and the Caucus Leader of the DA Johannesburg Caucus. We thank Cllr Funzi Ngobeni for his contribution in leading the DA Johannesburg Caucus as a strong opposition in the City of Johannesburg Council. We wish Cllr Funzi Ngobeni all the best in his future endeavours," said Councillor Gert Niemand, the party's Joburg Caucus chairperson.
Meanwhile, earlier on Monday, Mashaba said Ngobeni would be leading the People's Movement's efforts to build ground roots support ahead of the formation of a new party. "The Democratic Alliance is disappointed by the resignation of DA caucus leader in the city of Johannesburg and DA Johannesburg regional chairperson, Funzela Ngobeni, and the party wishes him well in his new endeavours," the DA leader in Gauteng, John Moodey, said.
