The ANC has pulled out of its coalition agreement with the Independent Civic Organisation of SA (Icosa) in Kannaland, Western Cape and will instead occupy the opposition benches in the municipality.

The ANC in the Western Cape announced 10 days ago that it wanted to review its coalition agreement in Kannaland saying discussions and agreements on coalitions should be based on its set principles of ensuring stability of municipalities, good governance, a tough stance against corruption, strict adherence to the rule of law, as well as the creation of a nonracial, nonsexist, democratic and prosperous society.

“While we respect and uphold the democratic wishes of the people of Kannaland who have on successive occasions chose to elect Icosa as the majority party, the extended interim provincial committee resolved to mandate the negotiating team to review the coalition agreement.Donson was convicted of statutory rape and indecent assault while mayor in 2008. On appeal, his five-year sentence was suspended and he was fined R20,000.

He was elected with his colleague Werner Meshoa, also from Icosa, as deputy mayor. Meshoa himself was convicted for fraud while he was the speaker of Kannaland and sentenced to 18 months in prison or a R6,000 fine.
