Petition for fresh elections for a stable Joburg, now!
It is time to end the merry-go-round of no confidence votes and fighting over positions. Sign this petition now and get behind the DA's call for the Joburg council to dissolve itself in order for new elections to take place. United, we can rescue Joburg!
Joburg is being held hostage by unethical small parties that use coalitions to extort positions and patronage. As a result, the Johannesburg city council, as currently constituted, has no pathway to a sustainable, stable and ethical majority government.
The council that emerged from the 2021 local government election features no less than 18 different parties. The council is too split and fragmented, with too many small parties that hold the balance of power, for a stable government to be formed.
It is time to go back to the voters so that they can fix this extreme fragmentation by uniting behind the DA. This will enable us to form a stable and ethical new government that can rescue Joburg.
The Municipal Structures Act provides that a council with no pathway to form a stable government may dissolve itself two years after the last election.
Sign this petition now and get behind the DA’s mission of providing fresh elections for a stable Joburg.
The DA calls on all political parties in Joburg to put aside their own narrow political ambitions and instead support our motion for fresh elections. It is time to end the merry-go-round of no-confidence motions and the selfish fighting about positions.
The DA brings this motion in the interest of all residents of Joburg, who are tired of the political instability that has brought service delivery to its knees.
Sign this petition now and get behind the DA’s mission to rescue our country’s biggest city. By uniting behind the DA, we can bring an end to the fragmentation that enables small parties to hold Joburg hostage.
