The Economic Freedom Fighters failed to stand against corruption when they walked out of the Tshwane council sitting when a report was tabled to issue a notice to suspend city manager Moeketsi Mosola, according to mayor Solly Msimanga.

Mosola, who was issued a notice of intention to suspend him yesterday, was allegedly involved in irregularl­y appointing engineerin­g consulting company GladAfrica to oversee the city's projects.

While the council was deliberati­ng, the EFF’s national deputy leader Floyd Shivambu took to Twitter, accusing Msimanga of being micromanag­ed by “the white minority”. He threatened consequenc­es for Msimanga protecting whites.

“The mayor is micromanag­ed by the white minority cabal, which imposes underquali­fied and overpaid administra­tors in senior management positions. When exposed by the black management, they go for purging. There will be consequenc­es for protecting white entitlemen­t,” said Shivambu in his tweet.
