FRIDAY BRIEFING | The battle for Tshwane and why you should care
In its third motion of no confidence submitted this year in the Tshwane mayor, the ANC said the City was experiencing several challenges because of Cilliers Brink 's inability to provide necessary leadership and political guidance.
If the party succeeds, besides removing Brink, it will also oust the multiparty coalition, which consists of the DA, ActionSA, FF Plus, IFP and the ACDP. National chairperson Michael Beaumont says the party is concerned about regression in service delivery, particularly in the townships. He has posted several videos on social media platform X recently to highlight problem areas in the city. Brink has hit back with his own posts about where the City is doing well.
It's no secret that the City has faced many challenges over the years. During 2023, the City was quite candid about its severe financial constraints. It struggled to pay its debts to Eskom and Rand Water. A municipal strike further crippled the city.
