ActionSA has filed a motion of no confidence in Tshwane council speaker Mncedi Ndzwanana, hoping to remove the African Transformation Movement councillor from his position.
With the Democratic Alliance (DA) also supporting the motion of confidence, the motion is likely be heard on the 28th of June 2023.
ActionSA had filed a similar motion in April, but it failed and was dismissed by Ndzwanana as frivolous.
While the City of Tshwane is led by the coalition government that includes ActionSA, FF Plus and the ACDP, DA Tshwane caucus leader Jacqui Uys said it was important the coalition agreement was implemented fully, and that is why the DA would support Ndzwanana's removal.
"To ensure a stable coalition and government, it is important that the signed coalition agreement is implemented, that means we cannot have someone from outside of the coalition in a key position as this allows for opposition agendas to work against that of the governing coalition.
We have seen this where in the past month's important reports were not served and were delayed from end February to mid-June as the council meetings were postponed," Uys said.
Ndzwanana was elected in March 2023 with the help of the ANC and EFF.
