"The DA Caucus in Msunduzi submitted a Motion of No Confidence in the Mayor to the Office of the Speaker and the City Manager to be tabled and voted upon at the next Full Council meeting at the end of the month." 

"The DA believes that the Mayor continues to fail in his mandate and continues to lack the political will and leadership to effectively deal with the complete collapse of the Municipality."
