Gauteng Legislature Votes Today on No-Confidence Bid Against Premier Lesufi

The motion stems from a Public Protector finding that his Amapanyaza policing unit was unlawful.

Overview

  • The African National Congress in Gauteng says it is lobbying smaller parties to keep Lesufi in office.
  • The Democratic Alliance brought the motion, yet its path to the numbers required for removal remains unclear.
  • ActionSA accuses the DA of grandstanding without securing sufficient support to unseat the premier.
  • This is Lesufi’s first no-confidence challenge since forming a minority provincial government last year.
  • After the Amapanyaza wardens were disbanded, Lesufi pledged to repurpose some as traffic wardens, but News24 reports the training plan may lack funding.
