The speaker eventually ended the meeting and left, followed by the FF+, IFP, DA, ACDP and ActionSA.
City manager Imogen Mashazi then took over as speaker, leaving many to believe that the continuation of the caucus was illegal. The remaining parties dealt with the motions and elected EFF councillor Nthabiseng Tshivhenga as interim speaker.The motion to suspend the rule on the timing between motions of no confidence was passed, and the supposed next move would be to vote out Campbell.In a statement, the party cited the resignation of DA chief whip Khetha Shandu and oversight chairperson Pieter Henning as the reasons for wanting Campbell and her MMCs to step down.
ActionSA Gauteng chairperson Bongani Baloyi said their departure was"indicative of the implosion currently taking place as a result of the DA's failure to lead coalitions".In times of uncertainty you need journalism you can trust.
