A rescheduled special council sitting in the City of Johannesburg hit a snag on Tuesday when some councillors disrupted the meeting and engaged in “political games”.

The meeting attended by 268 councillors was due to elect the chair of chairs and chairpersons of portfolio committees. Theseat 10am. Five hours later the election had not taken place as councillors sought constant caucus breaks and the removal of security in council chambers.

First the ANC, relegated to the opposition benches after taking a beating in the local government elections, demanded a 30-minute caucus break which ended up taking nearly an hour. The EFF, Patriotic Alliance and minority parties later demanded the same. “I have given you enough time to have caucus breaks. We are now going to continue with the business of the day,” he said.

It is the second time the council sat in less than a week. Previously, ANC and EFF councillors demanded that voting take place by secret ballot instead of a show of hands.
