Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>Gauteng Premier Panyaza Lesufi said he was encouraged that most political parties in the provincial legislature had grown weary of ongoing political instability.<\/p>\n

Lesufi survived a Democratic Alliance-sponsored motion of no confidence on Friday.<\/p>\n

The party had argued that Lesufi should be removed, citing several issues, including his recent decision to disband the crime prevention wardens.<\/p>\n

But nine of the eleven parties represented in the legislature voted to keep him in office.<\/p>\n

Lesufi said he was pleased that his administration remains intact.<\/p>\n

“What has happened here, you have started a new revolution. All political parties that represent the aspirations of our people came together. All political parties that represent the future came together to defeat racists.”<\/p>\n
