I like this one already, it's the kid of young people who were supposed to be leading te revival of COPE, not the likes of Lekota, Bloem and Madisha.

Tbh her actions just make the death of COPE even quicker... As if the blikseming on national TV from last week wasn't enough...

I think she is wasted at COPE and that's very unfortunate for the party, independent thinkers who are not afraid to say what's on their mind are an asset to any party, looking at her credentials it looks like COPE are the ones who are going to be the biggest loser out of the fallout if they take hasty decisions.

I have a feeling that things are not going to pan out the way most people think from that meeting COPE leadership is having.

They'll have to do something about her tho. Since she's a liability for the UF in JHB.
 
Vote of no confidence in NMB Mayor stalls
A vote of no confidence in the Nelson Mandela Bay mayor Eugene Johnson stalled on Wednesday morning after a DA councillor allegedly received a death threat.
Johnson is facing the chop after the DA called for a motion of no confidence in the ANC-led coalition.
DA chief whip Leander Kruger told council speaker Gary Van Niekerk that threats have been made against the life of one of the party's councillors.
The DA insisted on a short break to allow the party time to approach the city manager and report the threats.

Classy... So that's why it's taking so long to hear from NMB...

Claims of dark forces, dirty tricks as ‘mystery court appeal’ collapses crucial Nelson Mandela Bay Council meeting

In a short but drama-filled sitting, a special council meeting collapsed on Wednesday as a mystery appeal was filed suspending a court order allowing three councillors of the Northern Alliance to attend the meeting where a motion of no confidence was to be heard against mayor Eugene Johnson.

So the battle has been postponed. The council meeting collapsed.

Seems like certain parties are pulling out all the stops to not lose NMB.
