Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>Another DA mayor has been removed through a motion of no confidence.<\/p>\n

Hullet Hild was removed as the mayor of the West Rand municipality on Tuesday along with Alme Swart, also from the DA, who was removed as council chief whip.<\/p>\n

The removals come just three days after Gerhard Kruger, also from the DA, resigned as the speaker and was replaced by EFF councillor Bethuell Munyai. Munyai is the deputy secretary of the EFF in Gauteng.<\/p>\n

Kruger, Hild, and Swart had served in their positions since January last year.<\/p>\n

Hild and Swart were ousted through an alliance between the ANC, EFF, and African Independent Congress (AIC) in the council. The AIC only has one seat.<\/p>\n

Dennis Thabe from the ANC caucus, also a former mayor of the municipality, told eNCA the caucus would wait to hear from the party’s provincial leadership on the names of those who would replace them.<\/p>\n

Thabe claimed that the three DA councillors were not performing, which was why there were motions of no confidence in them.<\/p>\n

He agreed that the ANC and the EFF were in a coalition in the municipality and had engaged on issues maturely, instead of playing politics.<\/p>\n

“We are looking at the broader scheme of making sure that services [are delivered], not just a lip talk about services, but when you go to all the corners of the West Rand, we want to make sure that we see change.<\/p>\n

He said:<\/p>\n

The EFF and the ANC have been working together in Gauteng municipalities to remove DA mayors and speakers.<\/p>\n

After the 2021 municipal elections, the ANC lost control of several municipalities in Gauteng, including the West Rand.<\/p>\n

Last week, the ANC\/EFF coalition removed former Ekurhuleni mayor Tania Campbell and replaced her with the AIC’s Sivuyile Ngodwana.<\/p>\n

In the same municipality, the alliance removed former speaker Raymond Dlamini and replaced her with the EFF’s Nthabiseng Tshivhenga.<\/p>\n

In Tshwane, the EFF\/ANC coalition failed to elect a mayor but came together and voted for the African Transformation Movement’s Mncedi Ndzwanana as the speaker.<\/p>\n
