JOHANNESBURG - The African National Congress (ANC) in Gauteng is gunning for Ekurhuleni chairperson Mzwandile Masina after he refused to withdraw a motion of no confidence against Tania Campbell last month.

The motion of no confidence resulted in Campbell being ousted from the mayoral position and the City of Ekuruleni going without a mayor for three weeks.

The Gauteng Provincial Executive Committee (PEC) has subsequently decided, on Wednesday, 9 October, to charge Masina and his regional executive for ignoring the instructions from higher structures.

The disciplinary action comes after a power-sharing deal between the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF), and the ANC in Ekurhuleni fell apart when negotiations reached a deadlock.

According to EWN, The deal between the two parties involved unseating the Democratic Alliance-led coalitions in Johannesburg, Ekurhuleni, Tshwane and Mogale City.

Masina's bid to return the ANC to the metro was a dismal failure, as Campell was reinstated as mayor of Ekurhuleni on Tuesday, 8 October, beating ANC candidate Jongiziwe Dlabathi, TimesLIVE reported.

Masina's actions and failures in Ekurhuleni set the chairperson against the Gauteng PEC. Masina allegedly stepped out of the meeting on Wednesday night to conduct an hour-long meeting with eNCA, further sparking the ire of the PEC.
