The DA continues to cling to power in the capital city, frustrating the opposition at every turn.
Tshwane Speaker Katlego Mathebe has been given until Monday to respond to requests for a special council meeting, otherwise she will be taken to court, the Tshwane EFF said on Thursday after another frustrating day for the opposition.
This after the North Gauteng High Court had in December suspended all council resolutions from 5 December, where Mokgalapa and Mathebe were voted out in no-confidence motions. While the ANC confirmed to the media that a council sitting would take place in the afternoon, the Tshwane council chambers were completely empty, with not a single councillor in sight.“I did not convene a meeting. When I convene a meeting, I issue a notice and also inform the media… There have been rumours [of a meeting] and I have maintained the stature I have always maintained and will continue to work the way I am supposed to work.
