After extensive debate over the weekend, ActionSA decided that it will not be part of a multiparty coalition government with the DA and its coalition partners in Ekurhuleni, according to national chairperson Michael Beaumont.
The decision means the party's councillors won't form part of the mayoral committee that Ekurhuleni Mayor Tania Campbell is scheduled to announce soon.
But the move isn't surprising. ActionSA president Herman Mashaba has long decried the instability of the minority government in Ekurhuleni.
The DA and its coalition partners do not have enough seats to form a majority government in the Gauteng metro.
The fragility of the governance pact was most evident when Campbell was ousted in a motion of no confidence last month.
