NFP to expel councillors voting against coalitions

The NFP has taken a resolution to expel councillors defying the party’s mandate to vote in favour of the ANC/EFF coalition in various hung municipalities where the party is represented.

NFP Secretary-General, Canaan Mdletshe said this decision was taken at the meeting held last Monday in Durban.

“This was a unanimous decision to act against those not toeing the party line. The party had resolved to work with the ANC and the EFF in hung municipalities,” Mdletshe said.

“Failing to toe a party line is viewed as a serious offence.

“It’s insubordination – which is taken very seriously according to the party Constitution.”

He said they would be dealing decisively with leaders who have been working with the IFP in KZN.

“We have evidence proving there are certain individuals who are enticing our councillors to vote for or with the IFP in KZN.

“Our loyal councillors have written affidavits in that respect and as such, the meeting resolved that those implicated in such alien behaviour must be expelled. We will be communicating with them in that respect.”
