The City of Tshwane multi-party coalition government is to lay criminal charges against Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) councillors at the Pretoria central police station on Tuesday morning.
This comes after EFF councillors behaved violently during the special council meeting held last Thursday.
The multi-party coalition government has indicated that the EFF’s action is unacceptable, as no party has the right to disrupt the work of council and deny residents the opportunity to hear the budget speech.Last year, chaos erupted earlier after a group of African National Congress and Economic Freedom Fighters supporters disrupted the inaugural council meeting of the eThekwini Metro.Councillors were at loggerheads over the exact number of councillors in attendance.
