The Democratic Alliance (DA)’s Cilliers Brink has been removed as mayor of the City of Tshwane. He was defeated in a motion of no confidence at a Council meeting after 120 councillors voted in favor and 87 against. One councillor abstained.
His defeat follows the collapse of the DA’s coalition with ActionSA in the region.
Brink has been at the helm for over a year, but his tenure was filled with political instability at the metro which is faced with finance issues, service delivery challenges and long going water challenges in some parts. It is not clear what coalition will be formed following Brink’s removal.
