By Cllr Dana Wannenburg
DA Chief Whip in Tshwane
Today’s collapse of the Tshwane Council is yet another sign that the ANC–EFF–ActionSA coalition is coming apart at the seams.
ANC councillors walked out and broke quorum reportedly against the wishes of their own leaders, Eugene Modise and Aaron Maluleke.
This is bigger than a walkout.
It is a government that cannot govern.
The ANC, EFF and ActionSA cobbled together a coalition to take power in Tshwane.
Now, their infighting, instability and competing interests are paralysing the City.
While coalition partners fight among themselves, residents pay the price: potholes remain unfixed, power outages continue, water is lost, and opportunities for investment and jobs disappear.
Tshwane cannot afford another five years of coalition chaos.
DA councillors remained in their seats, ready to work, because Tshwane needs a stable government with a clear programme and the ability to deliver it.
The ANC coalition is falling apart. The DA is ready to take back Tshwane and get our City working for all.
