Success as ActionSA’s Motion Against Ekurhuleni Mayor Through to Council

Earlier this month, ActionSA submitted a motion against Mayor Ngodwana in Ekurhuleni in a bid to save the city from the looming financial collapse and service delivery, which has hit an all-time low.  

Following the programming committee meeting on Friday, we are one step closer to seeing desperately needed wholesale changes to Ekurhuleni’s top political leadership, as our motion has successfully gone through.

Therefore, Mayor Ngodwana will face a motion of no confidence on Thursday, 29 February.

Under Ngodwana’s leadership, we have witnessed:

– The city’s finances deteriorate, with cash on hand at record lows.

– Service delivery grinds to a halt as service providers are not paid.

– A waste crisis that continues to plague communities.

– The mayor is ignoring a council resolution on insourcing as well as failing to implement the lifestyle audit.

– His failure to implement the council resolution on hijacked buildings, which continue to pose a health and safety risk for unsuspecting residents.

Mayor Ngodwana will forever be known in Ekurhuleni as the “puppet mayor” who allowed the EFF to wreak havoc on the city’s finances and administration. His protection of Cllr. Dunga, the EFF MMC for Finance, who has been embroiled in several scandals over the past year, was particularly damning.

ActionSA urges political parties to put aside their differences and support this motion to save our city.

To this end, ActionSA is reaching out to all political parties that are willing to create political stability in the Metro, get the institutional review completed, stabilise the city’s finances, and begin rolling out service delivery to our communities.
