Today, the ANC-ActionSA-EFF coalition in Tshwane assaulted democracy by using force to silence opposition councillors.

Unable to win debates in council, this coalition turned to intimidation, weaponising municipal resources to suppress the opposition.

When DA councillors raised challenging questions, they were met not with answers, but with Deputy Mayor Modise’s demands for their removal. The speaker dutifully obliged. Bouncers were brought in to forcibly and illegally remove DA Councillors Moloto and Makgaleng.

This incident is part of a troubling trend. The Speaker has repeatedly failed to protect councillors from documented ANC and EFF assaults, and now actively targets his opponents.

The DA will open cases against the Speaker and those involved in this assault on democracy. We remain resolute in fighting for the people of Tshwane.

 

Issued by Ald Cilliers Brink - DA Tshwane Caucus Leader
