But Gwamanda and his party have dismissed these allegations as petty politicking by the DA.

Local governance expert, Harlan Cloete says communities need to start holding political parties accountable.

Cloete said, "I think coalitions by its very nature is fragile and complex."

"We need a framework about how should govern these coalitions, what are the basic principles that should be in place."
