Mayor Cilliers Brink will face a motion of no confidence on 26 September.
The ANC in Tshwane has cited the municipality’s R6 billion debt to Eskom as one of the reasons it wants mayor Cilliers Brink out of the mayoral chair.“The City of Tshwane owes Eskom R6 billion and the interest on the debt that was paid in 2022/23 financial year was R163 394 854,” the ANC said.“Payment of pension fund was delayed and attracted interest to the value of R639 537,” the ANC said.
According to the ANC at a meeting held on 27 June 2024, council considered a report on the appointment of the third deputy city manager called the Management and Support Officer at the cost of R3 million per annum.“We have vehemently opposed this unnecessary expenditure because we are currently struggling to meet our monthly obligations,” the party said.
“The primary role of the Audit and Performance Committee is to ensure the integrity of the financial reporting and audit process to oversee the maintenance of sound internal control as well as providing assurance that action has been taken on risk related issues,” the party said.It said Brink had failed to provide general political guidance over the fiscal and financial affairs of the municipality.
“Based on the above motivation, it is concluded that the executive mayor must be removed from office before the city becomes dysfunctional,” the party said.A deal had been struck by the ANC and ActionSA to take over several municipalities in Gauteng.“Tshwane is not without its challenges, but we are making progress. ActionSA’s attempts to destabilise a stable coalition in pursuit of power by aligning with the EFF threatens to undo this progress,” said Moloto.
