OVERVIEW: Msimanga says he remains undeterred, will face vote of no confidence

If the EFF chooses to collude with ANC, in the motion of no-confidence, it will be a clear demonstration that they support and stand-by corruption and wrong-doing.

While the ANC and EFF attempt to destabilise legitimate and democratically established governments in our metros, we will continue to do the work of bringing tangible change to the people of Tshwane.

The people of Tshwane must be under no illusion – this is not about good governance, it is about these parties naked pursuit of power and access to resources and patronage.

The @GautengANC has a track record of bad governance & corruption.

My relationship with the city manager has always been healthy.

I acted on the GladAfrica matter on principle. We will not compromise on issues of corruption or maladministration.

#EFFMediaBriefing Malema: Solly says the CM presented and he was satisfied, but how are you an Executive Mayor and you don’t read through the document. It means Solly relies on what he is being told and reading tweets for information, he doesn’t go through documentations.
