City of Ekurhuleni Council Speaker survives no-confidence motion - SABC News

City of Ekurhuleni Council Speaker Nthabiseng Tshivhenga has survived a no-confidence motion vote. However, Sivuyile Ngodwana was removed as the City’s executive mayor after he was voted out during another motion of no confidence earlier on Thursday.

47 councilors voted to oust Ngodwana while 32 voted against it. The political parties with the most seats in the council abstained leaving Ngodwana’s fate in the hands of the minority parties. “It’s a lesson, more especially, from the ANC because if you remember that we’ve been working with them since 2016 and we have always been able to resolve all our problems and still come to council united. we are disappointed and we will revisit those agreements because we cannot always be honest and honour the agreements when they can turn their backs at any given time.

“The puppet mayor as we have called him Mayor Ngodwana’s administration has been very disastrous service delivery had collapsed as a result of them being unable to pay service providers, so ActionSA has always said that Maya’s administration had to go to save Ekurhuleni.
