'Touch the speaker, you won't find peace': EFF tells new Tshwane mayor Cilliers Brink: “If you are going to start politics of removing the speaker, you must know that you are never going to find peace, ” said the EFF's Obakeng Ramabodu.
“We want to send a message to his caucus. When the speaker was elected they walked out, we remained because we are defenders of democracy. They have a problem of thinking they are superior, and that they can walk out of council because they do not like you [Ndzwanana]. It has become municipal custom to oust office bearers from the opposition party once the leading coalition gets hold of the mayoral or speaker position.
The party leader said the conflict and discord during council meetings was never indicative of hatred. “We will always hold you accountable, you must ask those who came before you. You are the fifth mayor of the DA in the past seven years but because you feel entitled, you haven't checked what the issues are to avoid [making the same mistakes],” said the EFF leader.“We have an adverse audit finding with wasteful expenditure of R10bn and it happened under someone from your party. When you think you are the first mayor, think twice. Mogalapa was caught having sex in the office.
