GERMISTON - The Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Municipality council sitting collapsed on Thursday.
The Democratic Alliance (DA), Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) and ActionSA have walked out due to the fact that the mayor Nkosindiphile Xhakaza and Acting City Manager Tsholofelo Koopedi were not present.
The Council met to discuss the court cases of suspended Ekurhuleni Metro Police Department (EMPD) Deputy Chief Julius Mkhwanazi and City Manager Kagiso Lerutla.
