The metro’s failure to adequately spend grant funds
During a media briefing held in Tshwane on Friday morning, the ANC regional chairperson Eugene Modise outlined the reasons for this move, which stemmed from their recent regional executive committee meeting.
In a report by 702, Modise highlighted that the metro’s failure to spend grant funds adequately is a primary reason for seeking Brink's removal.
“The motion follows a deterioration of the state of governance, including financial management, a litany of misrule and a despondent staff component.
"Since June 2023, we have witnessed the rapid deterioration of governance in political oversight, management, and the city's financial status."
Netizens argued that Brink closed all taps for comrades
The ANC's motion reflects growing dissatisfaction with Brink’s administration and seeks to address what it describes as significant governance and financial management issues in Tshwane.
@DaveThipe jokingly said:
"Cilliers is cleaning up and closing the taps"
@buzabakirihoalso added:
"So early?"
@Finnthehuman80 noted the end of PNU ending soon:
"I thought they would pretend to get along for a bit longer."
@MadiBoity laughed at the decision:
"This is Kgoshi Maepa wanting a mayoral chain. "
Provincial and national ANC structures agree
Modise also mentioned that higher ANC structures have endorsed the decision.
“They have requested us to vote out the mayor a long time ago because of his arrogance and his treatment of black business people."
