Motion of no confidence loading. They just have to ensure that they get the support from MK + EFF + a few others. Walking away makes no sense.

I just don't really see the EFF and MK being a willing party in it tbh.

They would be very willing, use the DA to get rid of Ramaphosa, then install President Shipokosa, form a GNU without the DA, give KZN to MK.

It would work out very well for the DA.

It's a gamble for both sides... And one I don't see the parties being eager to play with local elections next year.

Unless they can get someone else to sponsor the motion. They're daft like that, who they vote for depends on who brings the motion. Doesn't matter if you can get the outcome you want...

Those DA fact cats throw away their nice Ministerial jobs and perks, in this economy?

These are white DA members, they don’t need BEE to make a living. For an ANC cadre who is unemployable, I understand

Fortunately Cyril already knows the names of those ANC colleagues, they will be summoned to Luthuli House as a proactive measure, just in case they are thinking of voting against Cyril in the MONC.

Fortunately there's something called a secret ballot, although yes I do agree it probably won't make a difference as ANC MPs are sheep and there is no independent thought amongst them.

Speaking to City Press, ANC Joburg regional task team coordinator Sasabone Manganye said ActionSA had proven to be an unreliable coalition partner and had ultimately “betrayed” the ANC.

“We engaged with ActionSA last year ... They wanted to be in the legislature to have the speaker on their side, and we agreed that they would join the coalition,” Manganye told City Press.

“But this year, they started voting against us – including on the budget adjustment and the appointment of the acting city manager, which they agreed to in meetings but did not support in council. We saw the betrayal coming.”

To an extent, Michael [Beaumont] even made a statement that they are not in a coalition with us, and that’s when we started to re-engage with them because we were concerned about how we could have a speaker who is not in a coalition with us.

“We did not bring them in because we needed numbers. We brought them in in the interest of the residents and to stabilise governance. But they became a source of instability.”

This is politics, and it’s unfortunate that residents are not being put first. As much as you can blame the ANC, don’t forget the DA – they sponsored the motion in an effort to bring back Kabelo Gwamanda.

“Council cannot continue. Reports that affect service delivery won’t be tabled, because the DA wants to play cheap politics to position Helen Zille’s candidate for 2026.”

Mthembu defended the legislative arm of the city, saying it had been functional, inclusive and responsive.


“Legislature was working. We ran successful IDP sessions. DA councillors didn’t even attend. Residents were complaining. So, who are they really serving?”

As always with Actioneers... IT'S ALWAYS THE ****ING DA'S FAULT.
