ANC Gauteng Secretary, TK Nciza says the party is expected to make a decision about Mayor Cilliers Brink's position by the end of September.Amidst speculations of whether the African National Congress will take control of the City of Tshwane, the party on Monday said it had not reached a conclusion on the matter.
Speaking on the sidelines of the National Working Committee meeting involving the party’s Gauteng leadership, provincial secretary TK Nciza said there are ongoing engagements. “We’re speaking to all parties in Tshwane, and we’ll report to the NWC through the SG , and then they will guide the process. There’s no conclusion as yet,” he said.“We believe that by the time we get to the 26th, we should have a firm decision as the ANC,” he said.“Those people have been outside for the past eight years. There’s no proper budget. Our communities have not been serviced.”“We are tired of having mayors changed week in and week out.
“We have agreed in principle that the motion that has been put is going to be temporarily withdrawn so that we deal with the side issues that are creating an impediment for us. But for sure in 14 days, we will be back,” said ANC regional secretary George Matjila at the time.The ANC 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.
