ActionSA says it welcomes the decisive action taken by the City of Tshwane Councillors to remove Cilliers Brink as the Mayor of the capital city.
Brink was voted out in a motion of no confidence brought by the African National Congress (ANC) and supported by other parties including the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF), ActionSA and Patriotic Alliance (PA) on Thursday.
ActionSA leader Herman Mashaba says they had to cut their relationship with the DA and work with the ANC to remove Brink because there was no service delivery in some parts of the metro, especially townships.
I feel quite sad but at the same time prided becausehave given ActionSA mandate to divorce this relationship with the DA because it was very toxic, insulting relationship very sad but at the same time gives us an opportunity to really try something new. We thought, at the beginning of 2021 that DA was a partner only to find out how wrong we were as they were prepared to stab us in the back.
Mashaba says ActionSA hopes to have the support of the ANC and other parties in electing their candidate Tshwane Deputy Mayor Nasiphi Moya as the new mayor of the metro.
