The ANC and ActionSA-led coalition was successful in removing Cilliers Brink as Tshwane mayor this past week.
Brink was voted out by 120 council members from the ANC, the EFF, ActionSA, the Patriotic Alliance and other minority parties in the Tshwane council. Only 87 voted against the motion, and there was one abstention.
The ANC-sponsored motion of no confidence was passed on Thursday.
It’s now off to the negotiating table for the ANC, ActionSA and the EFF to decide who gets the mayoral chain.
The election of the new mayor is unlikely to take place on Friday.
Brink has committed himself to being part of an effective opposition.
