EFF and DA in Gauteng welcome the removal of the ANC Sedibeng mayor

VAAL TRIANGLE - The EFF in Gauteng has welcomed the removal of Sedibeng District Municipality ANC mayor Lerato Maloka, through a motion of no confidence. The DA-sponsored motion passed with 26 votes in favour and 21 votes against. The EFF says under Maloka’s leadership, service delivery has collapsed, financial irregularities have worsened, and residents have been subjected to deteriorating living conditions. The party adds that the people of Sedibeng deserve accountable leadership that prioritises service delivery over self-enrichment.

Meanwhile, the DA in Gauteng has also welcomed the removal of Sedibeng District Municipality ANC mayor, Lerato Maloka, through a motion of no confidence. The party’s Sibusiso Dyonase says Maloka has failed in her statutory obligations, as well as her moral obligations to the municipality, its employees, and its people. Within the next 14 days, another council meeting will be convened where we will elect a new mayor. In the run-up to this meeting, the DA will consider all its options as they continue to act in the best interest of all residents in the Sedibeng District.
