Ekurhuleni\u2019s executive mayor, Clr Mzwandile Masina, left the chaotic Germiston Council Chamber to deliver his State of the City Address to the people waiting outside in the street.<\/p>\n

Once the councillors returned to their seats after the EMPD escorted EFF members out and the parties went into caucus, the DA said they felt the speaker, Clr Patricia Kumalo, should excuse herself because she had made bad decisions and endangered people\u2019s lives.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

The chief whip of council, Clr Jongizizwe Dlabathi, refuted this statement and asked why the matter had not been raised during the multi-party caucus.<\/p>\n

The EFF said, \u201cMadam Speaker, your behaviour and conduct has been in question for some time now.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

\u201cThis time, we support the DA and think the speaker should excuse herself from the meeting.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe ANC does not respect other parties as they will support the speaker\u2019s decisions as she is ANC.\u201d<\/p>\n
