EFF Slammed for Forcibly Removing Mayoral Committee From Outgoing Tshwane Mayor Randall Williams’ Office

• The Economic Freedom Fighters in Tshwane stormed the office of outgoing Mayor Randall Williams
• This comes after Williams abruptly announced his resignation from office on Monday, 13 February
• South Africans slammed the EFF for being agents of chaos and disorder in government

PRETORIA - The Economic Freedom Fighters in Tshwane have taken a leaf out of its national leadership's disruptive book.

The Tshwane division of the Red Berets stormed outgoing Mayor Randall Williams' office just like EFF MPs did during the Sona on Thursday, 9 February.

The drama started when Williams unexpectedly handed in his resignation letter on Monday, 13 February, claiming that he would vacate the position by midnight on the same day.

Shortly after, Wiliams took an about-turn on his resignation and amended his departure date to 28 February.

This was unacceptable to the EFF, who seemingly took Williams' initial resignation date as fact. The party took it upon itself to bumrush the mayoral office and force all members of the mayoral committee and other political staff out.

The storming of the mayor's office was motivated by the EFF's belief that since the mayor had resigned, there was no government.

A video posted by Twitter user @MrRama36 captured some commotion and chaos.

The EFF's claims that the City of Tshwane does not have a mayor are invalid. Sipho Stuurman from the mayor's office confirmed that while Williams is on special leave, MMC Peter Sutton is acting as mayor until the resignation comes into effect on 28 February, TimesLIVE reported.

In another story, Briefly News reported that South Africa is still reeling from the tragic murders of artists Oupa “DJ Sumbody” Sefoka and, most recently, Kiernan “AKA” Forbes.

Economic Freedom Fighters leader Julius Malama is doubtful that the country will ever find answers about why criminals killed the two music heavyweights so violently.

AKA, one of South Africa's leading rappers, was killed in what appears to be a hit, alongside longtime friend and celebrity chef Tebello "Tibz" Motsoane on Friday, 10 February.
