DA to approach the courts following suspension of two councillors

Maile has suspended former Speaker of Johannesburg Vasco Da Gama without pay for three months. He has also suspended the Speaker of Tshwane Katlego Mathebe for six months.

Maile has told the media that he gave the two sufficient time to give reasons why they should not be suspended, but failed to do so.In a statement, Steenhuisen says the DA has also written to Maile to retract his decision to suspend the two DA councillors, describing it as unlawful. He says the suspension cannot be made without a council resolution.

Steenhuisen says if Maile fails to retract his decision, the DA will also apply for a personal and punitive cost order against the MEC.
