The Johannesburg Multi-Party Government has accepted the outcome of the motion of no confidence against the former Speaker, Cllr Vasco Da Gama, who served the Council in an exemplary fashion.
I would like to assure residents that the work of repairing and rebuilding the City remains on track and will not be affected by the outcome of the motion against Cllr Da Gama.
We note with utter shame that certain members of the coalition elected to vote in favour of the motion, we are also aware that ahead of the motion there were allegations of bribery, which will be detailed in an affidavit.
As the Multi-Party Government, we will introspect on what needs to be done to regroup, as Joburg cannot afford to be handed back to a cabal who place self-interest ahead of the needs of Joburg’s 6-million residents. We are nonetheless confident that we will restore order. This is but a speedhump on a long road.
The repair and rebuild of South Africa’s economic hub has just begun, therefore our work is far from over. We intend on completing this term of office.
