The DA in KwaDukuza today calls on all political parties to exercise restraint and discipline in council tomorrow, 31 October 2024, where Motions of No Confidence (MONC) will be tabled.
The MONCs against the Municipal Speaker, Councillor Govidammal “Dolly” Govender, which was submitted by the DA with the second MONC submitted by the ANC against its own Mayor Lindile Nhaca, have been placed on the agenda.
While the DA welcomes our motion to remove the ANC sponsored speaker being placed on the council agenda, we remain gravely concerned that the ANC motion to unseat their defiant Mayor will create chaos and protest action in council.
The standard operating procedure of the ANC remains one of division and instability. We therefore anticipate that tomorrow’s meeting will unfold in the same vein. The ANC in KwaDukuza is notorious for political thuggery and infighting, and the end result of this division and plundering is the lack of services to the people of KwaDukuza.
We are calling on all political parties to act in accordance, in order to ensure that the business of council gets underway smoothly. In addition to this, officials and operatives who are in the business of disrupting council with their mafia style tactics must know that the Democratic Alliance will explore all mechanisms at our disposal to curtail this behavior.
