NATIONAL NEWS - Democratic Alliance (DA) leader Mmusi Maimane says the African National Congress (ANC) wants to remove Johannesburg Mayor Herman Mashaba through a motion of no confidence because its afraid that the DA will replace it as the governing party in the country.
Party members have marched through the streets of Braamfontein to the city council in support of Mashaba and speaker Vasco da Gama.
At the same time, the Economic Freedom Fighters's Floyd Shivambu has tweeted that his party will not support the ANC's motion to remove the mayor and speaker.
