ANC-EFF Coalition Aims to Oust Nelson Mandela Bay Mayor:

The motion of no confidence against Mayor Retief Odendaal is supported by the ANC, EFF, and Patriotic Alliance (PA).

According to reports by News24, a smaller party that initially supported Odendaal seems to have changed alliances.

This coalition’s move to remove the mayor is reminiscent of the situation in hung Gauteng metros, where mayors from smaller parties are often replaced.
