He said there had been a growing level of trust between the DA-led coalition and six EFF councillors in the Bay over the last 19 months.
EFF national spokesman Mbuyiseni Ndlozi did not respond to a request for comment on Trollip’s letter and EFF secretary-general Godrich Gardee could not be reached.
In the letter‚ Trollip expressed his confusion that Malema was punishing him‚ the DA-led coalition and residents of the Bay for holding a different ideological position on land and “the offensive colour of my skin”.
“These two things have been unchanged and self-evident since the first day of our discussions post the 2016 elections‚" wrote Trollip.
“In fact‚ you stated that you chose to cooperate with the ‘better of two devils’.”
