The EFF in Nelson Mandela Bay will file a new motion of no confidence that seeks to remove the city’s coalition government after mayor Retief Odendaal went to court to challenge the validity of an earlier version filed in April.
Despite two legal opinions stating the motion of no confidence against Nelson Mandela Bay mayor Retief Odendaal is invalid, speaker Gary van Niekerk is adamant that a special council meeting aimed at ousting the coalition government will go ahead on Monday unless a court rules otherwise.
The compliance of a motion no confidence meant to be tabled at a Nelson Mandela Bay special council meeting on Monday is set to be tested at the Gqeberha High Court.
