DA wants Buffalo City Mayor removed

The DA of Buffalo City Metropolitan Municipality will be submitting a motion of no confidence in Executive Mayor, Zukiswa Ncitha, for consideration at the next Council meeting. 

As a result of her poor political leadership and ongoing mismanagement, service delivery is being neglected and the people of BCM are suffering immensely.

She now stands accused of spending almost R800 000 of ratepayers’ money on domestic travel for events, most of which do not appear on her official diary. This report highlights ANC leaders appetite for spending money on luxury vehicles and hotel accommodation around the country not just BCMM.

Under her leadership she has also been approving workshops at luxurious hotels for officials and councillors, with taxpayer’s money.

The DA is of the view that the mayor should be much more prudent with the taxpayers purse. Priority to her should be to think about saving money for the city before just spending it on personal nice to haves.

The mayor has failed this metro and its people and it is now very clear that we can no longer tolerate her lack of understanding and her inability to unite and lead this council.

She has proven that her main priority is not to serve the people but is that of self-enrichment.

Under a DA governed Buffalo City we would do the right thing and remove the Executive Mayor, Zukiswa Ncitha from office.

The motion of no confidence from the DA seeks consensus from all political parties to support her removal.
