Leaders from both parties have been meeting to thrash out a stability agreement, which would see them stop submitting motions of no confidence against each other in municipalities they control.
JOHANNESBURG- The Democratic Alliance has pinned all its hopes on the African National Congress ’s national leadership to keep control of the Tshwane municipality.
Next week Thursday, the Tshwane council is due to vote on an ANC-sponsored motion of no confidence against Mayor Cilliers Brink.With ActionSA announcing its exit from the DA-led coalition in Tshwane, the governing pact is down 19 seats. Based on this, the DA-led coalition would not have enough numbers to prevent a motion of no confidence against Brink from succeeding.
DA national spokesperson Willie Aucamp said the party is doing all it can to keep Brink in his job, including talking to the ANC. "Hopefully, we can get a solution to not only stabilise Tshwane but Ekurhuleni and Johannesburg. I think that voters out there are sick and tired of being a political playball due to political parties that want to gain power at all costs."Aucamp said they are still waiting for a response.
