JOHANNESBURG – The Joburg City Council will not debate a motion of no confidence in Mayor Mpho Phalatse on Friday.
But, she says she hopes the council will approve her plan to apply for a R2-billion short-term loan to keep the municipality afloat.
However, minority parties say their vote in support of the loan isn’t guaranteed.
Minority parties say they’re dismayed by the conduct of the Democratic Alliance under Phalatse’s leadership.
They say the party hasn’t focused on the critical functions of the city.
They add that a new coalition would not be led by the ANC.
Instead, it would be a co-governing structure.
“We are dismayed at the conduct of the DA in the governing of the city,” said the ATM’s Lubabalo Magwentshu.
“The DA is arrogant and corrupt. The media has become a stage for Phalatse. Why does she feel the need to call the media and account for service delivery in the media and not to the communities?”
It was revealed that the City of Johannesburg is owed a whopping R40-billion by businesses and residents.
The city’s Managing Director, Kevin Reddy, said the city has accrued debt in excess of R22-billion over the last decade.
“As a city, over the last 10 years we have accrued debt in excess of R22-billion. As a city we are owed in excess of R40-billion by the businesses and residents within the city of Joburg,” Reddy said.
“There’s a very reputable mall in Sandton and medical aid company that have both had their debt written off. My question is why.”
