Joburg mayor Mpho Phalatse pleaded with councillors to co-operate and put the interests of constituents first.

The sitting, which commenced shortly after 10am, started off with some councillors expressing dissatisfaction at other councillors being turned away from the chambers — apparently due to not carrying their access cards — while those in coalition with the DA were allowed in.

Council speaker Vaso da Gama asked that councillors vote on whether the minutes should be adopted. In a surprise move, ActionSA president Herman Mashaba did not support his coalition partners in a vote confirming the council minutes.

Suspend the disruptive councilors and criminally charge them, make it known that this kind of behaviour is unacceptable

Not excusing EFF, but Vasco's performance as Speaker is very poor. Even HermanMashaba & MMC4Transport took issue with him. AzizAlly16 Ole_Wa_Ndofaya

ancestors is not there for the people. They are there for the money. Pleading will not make them virtuous. They are incapable.
