Leader of Al Jama-ah party, Ganief Hendricks on Tuesday insisted embattled Joburg Mayor Kabelo Gwamanda is not leave the citys apex position, despite claims by ActionSA that Gwamanda is on his way out.
On Monday, IOL reported that ActionSA leader Herman Mashaba made a U-turn , announcing that his party would work with the African National Congress ANC in Johannesburg on condition that Al-Jamal-ahs Kabelo Gwamanda be removed as executive mayor.
Mashaba has previously been vocal about not forming any relations with the ANC, insisting that the ANC was full of corruption and had no interest in uplifting the lives of South Africans.
Mashaba went as far as rejecting an invitation to join the ANC-led government of national unity GNU. In the latest turn of events, Mashaba said his party had agreed on a deal with ANC in Joburg which would see Gwamanda exiting.
However, on Tuesday morning, Al Jama-ah party rubbished Mashabas claims.
