Johannesburg mayor Herman Mashaba will face a motion of no confidence this week, but the DA is confident he will survive despite the EFF previously saying it will not vote with the party or the ANC in councils around the country.The DA needs the EFF votes in council if Mashaba is to retain his mayoral position.
In July, EFF leader Julius Malema announced that his party would not co-operate with either the DA or the ANC in municipalities across the country. He said the EFF would participate in debates but would abstain from voting. If the EFF abstains from voting in Thursday’s motion of no confidence, it could give a win to the ANC, which in terms of numbers has more than the DA.
“The motion of no confidence … must be seen for what it is — an attempt by the ANC criminal syndicate to get their hands on the people’s money and reverse the gains made by Mashaba’s multiparty government,” DA leader Mmusi Maimane said at a briefing following the meeting.Mashaba has had a good working relationship with the EFF, and the Johannesburg mayor regularly praises the red berets for their input in the metro, most notably on the issue of insourcing.
