T he Democratic Alliances (DAs) Tshwane mayor, Cilliers Brink , has warned its coalition partner ActionSA that voters will make it pay for collapsing the coalition in the metro municipality in favour of forming a new government with the ANC and the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF).
Brink said ActionSA should also shoulder some blame for the service delivery problems it has cited among the reasons it wanted to oust him, arguing that Herman Mashabas party was involved in the policy decisions made by the current city government.
On Tuesday, the Mail Guardian reported that ActionSA is set to get the mayoral position in Tshwane while the ANC will get the council speaker as part of a deal between the parties to take over the city.
Both parties are also prepared to offer the EFF some member of the mayoral committee (MMC) positions in return for the Red Berets support in ousting the DA.
Brink said ActionSA was claiming credit for the citys advances but blaming its failures solely on the DA.
