Ekurhuleni Mayor Tania Campbell at her office.
The Democratic Alliance’s ousted Ekurhuleni Mayor Tania Campbell says the coalition made a lot of progress improving service delivery in the Gauteng Metro.The ANC brought a motion of no-confidence, saying service delivery in the Metro municipality had regressed. Ninety-three councillors voted against the motion and 100 councillors for the motion in Germiston on Gauteng’s East Rand.
During a media briefing, Campbell pledged to continue her work on behalf of the residents as opposition leader in the council. She says, “While we’re clearly disappointed that the coalition of corruption succeeded in bringing an end to the good work, and the driven commitment of the multi-party coalition, we accept that we have an equally important role to play, from the opposition benches. The multi-party coalition has spent 10 months working to undo the damage done by the ANC, over the past two decades.”
