Calls for President Cyril Ramaphosa to resign are mounting at a frenetic pace in the ANC, but South Africans will have to wait for him to address the nation before any decision is known.

The ruling ANC in the Buffalo City Metro is on a collision course with opposition parties after it filed a motion to rescind a council resolution meant to deal with Awol councillors. In August, the council decided to refer a report on attendance of councillors at meetings of the council, including committees, to the conduct committee for investigation.

The debate will be held on Tuesday before the National Assembly vote on whether to adopt the report and its recommendations.

The DA is considering a coalition with the ANC. If it does so, it will be signing its own death warrant, writes Herman Mashaba.

The African Christian Democratic Party has lodged a formal complaint against Asanda Ngoasheng, the diversity trainer who caused controversy at Fish Hoek High School and “opened a racial can of worms” after she allegedly referred to white pupils as "white supremacists" and read them a poem that described Jesus Christ as “blue-eyed and blonde-haired”.

The DA has accepted that it will have to manage the future of the Ekurhuleni municipality without its former coalition partner, ActionSA.

The re-election of Tania Campbell as mayor of the City of Ekurhuleni could be short-lived if the DA-led multi-party coalition does not secure an additional partner in that municipality.

ActionSA says Tshwane mayor Randall Williams is not yet off the hook despite being cleared of meddling in municipal processes in the capital's R25bn power deal.

An Ekurhuleni council meeting which is meant to elect a new mayor has been marked by delays of two hours with the agenda on election yet to be tabled.

The Gauteng ANC has confirmed that negotiations are at an advanced stage before the vote for a new mayor.
