City of Tshwane speaker Mncedi Ndzwanana will face a court case brought by the DA and its coalition partners, despite acceding to a special sitting to hear a motion of no confidence in him. | ZintleMahlati
Ndzwanana had clashed with the DA, ActionSA, ACDP and IFP for his refusal to call a special sitting to hear the motion.
The DA, FF Plus and ActionSA said they believed he would not be fair and just in chairing a sitting which questioned his authority.The court case, to be argued in the Gauteng High Court in Pretoria on 11 April, had initially sought to force Ndzwanana to call for the sitting on 12 and 13 April. But despite this move, the DA and its coalition partners are determined to argue in court on 11 April that Ndzwanana should be legally interdicted from chairing the sitting and Mettler should take over.
EFF Tshwane leader Obakeng Ramabodu threatened the DA and its partners if they attempted to remove Ndzwanana shortly after Cilliers Brink's election as mayor. The parties also want the interdict to protect the council on 13 April, the date set for passing the City's adjustment budget. The speaker is interdicted and prohibited from chairing, adjourning and or interfering, whether directly or indirectly, with the functioning of the 12 April special sitting.
