“Panyaza cannot continue to be the Premier of Gauteng,” Msimanga declared. “There are so many things that have happened that make us believe that a motion of no confidence against Panyaza is what’s needed.”
The DA confirmed it will formally push for the motion to be debated in the Gauteng Provincial Legislature.
