Joburg mayor Thapelo Amad and speaker Colleen Makhubele are facing motions of no confidence against them.
They were brought by ActionSA and the DA and were tabled in the programming committee on Friday and have successfully made it to the council agenda.no-show from ANC/EFF councillorsActionSA Gauteng leader Funzi Ngobeni said their absence was another “desperate attempt by the ANC/EFF coalition of doom to cling to power” as they did not have the numbers to defeat the no-confidence motion should it pass the programming committee and come before council.
The party's caucus spokesperson Sthembelo Majola said they were pleased with finally being able to pass the motions through programming, citing they will be a subject of council debate at the next meeting. “The two caucuses of the ANC and EFF tried to delay these motions by submitting leaves of absence citing different reasons, and the meeting had to be rescheduled for Friday. Our view is that this was an attempt to allow themselves time to negotiate with their coalition partners.
