A motion of no confidence against City of Tshwane Executive Mayor Cilliers Brink is temporarily suspended by the African National Congress (ANC) following a court challenge by the mayor on “the lawfulness of the motion.” This temporary withdrawal provides the DA and multi-party coalition with the opportunity to reach out to ActionSA with the hope that they will reconsider their position to leave the multi-party coalition, following an announcement by the party regional leadership that they will join forces with the ANC and EFF to form a new coalition in the City of Tshwane and to support a motion of no confidence against the mayor. However, Mayor Brink has indicated, “We as the coalition have had no notice of this, no formal writing, no clear indication that was going to be the case, but we can only accept that given what has happened, given the statement made by Herman Mashaba and others, given the fact that our repeated attempts to meet with the leadership of ActionSA have been rebuffed, that in fact this is the situation. It is deeply disappointing; I regard it as the betrayal of our coalition and residents of Tshwane.”
