50th Extra-Ordinary Council Meeting

Council did not approve a loan agreement with KfW for the 2025/26 to 2027/28 financial years, the item tabled by the Executive Mayor at this extraordinary sitting. The Speaker announced 5 abstentions, 94 against and 129 in favour, short of the 136 votes a finance item needs; she first gave the threshold as 137. The ANC, ATM and UDM backed the roughly R3.8 billion loan, the UDM with conditions, while ActionSA rejected it and the DA said it could not support it.
