JOHANNESBURG - As the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) moves to dismantle ties with the second metro it’s in coalition with, leader Julius Malema has given an assurance that it has no plans to oust Johannesburg Mayor Herman Mashaba. Malema held a briefing on the state of the metros following his party's victory in unseating Nelson Mandela Bay Metro Mayor Athol Trollip.
The EFF is also planning to table a motion of no confidence against Tshwane Mayor Solly Msimanga on Thursday, claiming he's incompetent and has failed to recognise their coalition agreement.
He's accused the Democratic Alliance (DA) leaders of being arrogant, running the metros as if they have an outright majority and serving the party's white caucus.
Malema has, however, praised Mashaba for recognising their coalition agreement by consulting with the EFF in decision making. “Mashaba came with a huge proposal that he wants to increase the rates with an abnormal percentage in Johannesburg, the EFF refused and said it’s not going to happen. Our people cannot afford what you’re proposing, Mashaba then said ‘okay, let’s come back and talk.’”
