ACDP will not support a motion of no-confidence against current Tshwane Mayor

Aug 30, 2024

The African Christian Democratic Party (ACDP) notes with great concern recent media reports that the ACDP will support the ANC and EFF in the Tshwane Metro Municipality, in an effort to unseat the Mayor, via a motion of no-confidence.

Since 2021, the ACDP has committed itself to the co-governing agreement with our political party partners in Tshwane, which include the IFP, FF+, ActionSA and the DA. Our position in this regard has not changed.

The ACDP will conduct an internal investigation into how our position in the City of Tshwane was miscommunicated and will take necessary corrective action.

We will ensure that if there are any changes to our position, within the Multi-Party Charter, those changes are communicated through our official channels.

To emphasise our position, the ACDP is not part of the Progressive Caucus in Tshwane and we will not support a motion of no-confidence against the current Tshwane Mayor.
