The ANC retained Ward 12 in the Metsimaholo by-election with 31.34% of the votes‚ while the EFF came in second.The Free State ward became vacant when the ANC councillor resigned.
The EFF is hoping to take over the running of the entire the Metsimaholo municipality‚ if it can secure a vote of no confidence in the current mayor Sello Hlasa‚ the leader of the Metsimaholo Community Association. Earlier this week‚ a special council meeting where the motion of no confidence was likely to be brought against Hlasa‚ was postponed.
Metsimaholo was finely split between political parties in the August 2016 local government elections and was eventually run by an opposition coalition.
Hlasa‚ through the coalition‚ was elected mayor. However‚ Hlasa is alleged to have subsequently aligned himself with the ANC in the province forcing the DA and EFF to rethink their support in the municipality.
