Newsdeck: ANC votes for Tshwane budget, but closes door on partnership with DA

Last week the EFF announced it would no longer vote with the DA, after it refused to give the red berets the mayoral position.

The DA described the EFF’s decision as unfortunate but Tshwane mayor, Stevens Mokgalapa, indicated that it wouldn’t signal a significant change as the partnership was based on voting on a case-by-case situation. He also said they had managed to pass the budget without the EFF’s assistance in May. The EFF had abstained from the vote.

It seems the Tshwane mayor approached the ANC for assistance to pass the budget, to avoid collapsing the council and sparking a call for fresh elections in the municipality. “Not the things that Solly Msimanga and his EFF friends were doing talking to Waterkloof and Centurion,” the regional chair said, referring to more affluent suburbs in Tshwane.

He said the EFF’s decision to not vote with the DA had nothing to do with the ANC or even the council.
