This allowed Campbell to snatch back the mayoral chain with 124 votes, trouncing ANC Ekurhuleni deputy regional chair Jongizizwe Dlabathi, who received 99 votes. There was one spoilt vote. Zille said last-minute negotiations to hammer out a deal between the ANC and EFF “broke down in the early hours of Tuesday morning, after which the EFF instructed their councillors to vote for us”.
Zille said the EFF did not consult the DA about its plans to vote with the multiparty coalition government.
