Meanwhile, the DA announced it would be tabling motions of no confidence in mayor Mongameli Bobani, speaker Buyelwa Mafaya and chief whip Bicks Ndoni at the next ordinary council meeting on December 4.
This will be the DA's first attempt to remove Bobani since he took office. However, the party supported an earlier attempt by the ACDP and COPE to oust the mayor through a motion of exigency on November 2.
Bhanga said conversations with national leaders of other parties were under way to lobby support for their motion.
"We know that this coalition is on the brink of collapse and therefore we are going to mobilise residents, political parties and anyone who can support us because we can't allow the city to be stolen again," Bhanga said.
Bobani was not immediately available for comment.
