TSHWANE: KINGMAKERS’ OUSTING OF MAYOR CAN BECOME TREND IN OTHER METROS EXPERTS

Get ready for more chaos

Pursuit of stability could become a trap as ANC-ActionSA-EFF faction faces deadline.

With Herman Mashaba’s ActionSA having emerged as a kingmaker, leading to the ousting of the Tshwane mayor Cilliers Brink, the trend is likely to spill over in other metros, analysts say.

The ANC-ActionSA-EFF axis has two weeks to establish a new government in Tshwane, after a no-confidence vote removed Brink.

Political analyst Dr Sam Koma said the Tshwane development could be replicated in the Gauteng metros Johannesburg and Ekurhuleni.

Political stability in metros was uncertain as the landscape was “shifting, especially as the parties are fearing each other in the run-up to the 2026 local government elections”.

Maintaining the ousting of Brink was “not yet over”, University of Johannesburg local government expert Prof Theo Venter said “there are a lot of things that can develop in the coming two weeks”.
