ActionSA looks to oust Joburg coalition – but Zille plays tough

Herman Mashaba seeks to oust current mayor and coalition in Johannesburg, eyeing budget vote for change.

ActionSA wants to remove Al Jama-ah mayor Kabelo Gwamanda and his ANC and Economic Freedom Fighters coalition partners next week at the last council sitting before the elections on 29 May.Mashaba said it was clear that Johannesburg residents were not being prioritised by the metro’s current government, after the coalition and the Patriotic Alliance failed to support the budget proposed by MMC of finance Dada Morero this week.

“That is why we are calling for the council’s dissolution and the holding of fresh elections to enable the voters to consider the consequences of their vote in light of the city’s recent history.”“I have asked some of our other partners to speak to the DA, because they do not listen to us,” he said. On Wednesday, a clearly angry PA leader Gayton McKenzie hinted on social media platform X that he would forsake the current marriage with the ANC.
