[JUST IN] Spectators throw chairs at EFF members in council
"We demand that they be removed."
The News has been notified that the Mogale City Council meeting has been disrupted by members of the public.
Their reason: the six EFF councillors who voted against the DA in the vote of no confidence in the former Mayor, Michael Holenstein, have not been removed from council. The EFF was in a coalition with the DA but one of their councillors swung the vote in council.

The community members, who were seated in the gallery today, went so far as to throw chairs from the gallery onto the EFF members of council. They also allegedly poured water onto the councillors and threw paper balls at them.

“We demand that they be removed,” one screamed.
The meeting was adjourned for 10 minutes because the disruptive attitude of the community members allegedly got out of hand and led to a fight.
