Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>Tania Campbell has been removed as the mayor of Ekurhuleni via a no-confidence motion.<\/p>\n

On Thursday, Campbell was voted out by 126 votes in support of the motion, with 91 votes against. The ANC and the EFF, and a group of smaller political parties, brought the motion and supported its adoption.<\/p>\n

The ANC described Campbell’s leadership as a “serious error of judgement”.<\/p>\n

The EFF and the ANC described Campbell as a “failed” mayor, who oversaw the decline of service delivery in Ekurhuleni.<\/p>\n

This was Campbell’s second removal from office after her first removal in October 2022.<\/p>\n

Campbell’s removal was followed by a swift election process for a new mayor after the council Speaker, Nthabiseng Tshivhenga, an EFF councillor, declared a vacancy.<\/p>\n

AIC councillor Sivuyile Ngodwana and Campbell were nominated for the position as Ekurhuleni mayor.<\/p>\n

Campbell and Ngodwana contested for the position as voting got under way in Ekurhuleni on Thursday evening.<\/p>\n

The Independent Electoral Commission of SA was expected to preside over the election of the new mayor.<\/p>\n

Campbell’s removal was made easy because the DA coalition governed the metro with a minority.<\/p>\n

The DA governed with the support of the IFP, Freedom Front Plus and the ACDP.<\/p>\n

The council dynamics had long challenged the DA coalition’s metro governance and contributed to a souring relationship with its former partner in the city, ActionSA.<\/p>\n

ActionSA councillors voted to keep Campbell in office to fend off the EFF and the ANC, but the party was not in a coalition with the DA in Ekurhuleni.<\/p>\n

A partnership between the ANC and the EFF in Ekurhuleni means a majority for the two parties, while smaller political parties will likely aid in the council.<\/p>\n

The ANC and EFF made a similar move in Johannesburg, though it failed in Tshwane, and used minority party councillors as mayors.<\/p>\n

At the same time, they divided up mayoral committee roles in the Johannesburg municipalities among themselves.<\/p>\n
