Action SA calls for Gwamanda to be removed
JOHANNESBURG - The City of Johannesburg's coalition woes continue
ActionSA is calling for the removal of Al-Jamah-Ah's Kabelo Gwamanda as mayor.
His educational qualifications have come under scrutiny and he also faces accusations of fraud, linked to his investment company, iThemba Lama Afrika.
But Gwamanda and his party have dismissed these allegations as petty politicking by the DA.
Local governance expert, Harlan Cloete says communities need to start holding political parties accountable.
Cloete said, "I think coalitions by its very nature is fragile and complex."
"We need a framework about how should govern these coalitions, what are the basic principles that should be in place."
