Joburg Council | DA to table motion to hold fresh by-elections

JOHANNESBURG - The merry-go-round in the Joburg Council simply doesn't stop turning.

Residents could be without a mayor this week as Kabelo Gwamanda faces an ActionSA vote of no confidence.

But, the DA is proposing a different approach.

It wants the entire council dissolved.

This will allow for a fresh round of by-elections throughout the city to elect new leaders.

Gauteng DA Chair Fred Nel said the right thing to do is go back to the voters to get a fresh mandate.

"That's our call to the other political parties. We call on them to do the right thing," Nel said.
