ActionSA has terminated the membership of two of its Tshwane councillors after an investigation into how they allegedly defied the party line and voted for former mayor Murunwa Makwarela.
The two who were ousted on Friday have reduced the number of ActionSA councillors in Tshwane from 19 to 16. However, Beaumont believed the reduced numbers would hurt the ANC/EFF coalition more than theirs.
Beaumont confirmed they have written to the councillors notifying them of their membership termination and to the speaker and municipal manager notifying them of this decision.
