Mashaba said negotiations were still underway and the deadline would be met.
"This nonsense of the DA misleading people that there's a fight between the ANC and Action SA over who is going to be mayor is propaganda and misleading information.
"The DA has no shame about lying to the people of South Africa," he said.
"If you look at some people in the media working with the ANC, they have an agenda to sabotage this.
"That's why Action SA took this decision - because of the backstabbing. "Why are they not prepared to entertain us and the ANC and EFF and why did the DA sabotage and spoil the votes?
"All of this is never spoken about," he said.
Mashaba said he found it strange that in the City of Joburg there was a bigger strategy when Action SA and the Freedom Front-Plus had negotiated to support the DA's Mpho Phalatse.
"In the City of Joburg, we had three executive positions and we were prepared to give up two of our MMCs and remain with one," said Mashaba.
