The Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) and uMkhonto weSizwe (MK) Party have made it clear they will not support the Democratic Alliance (DA)’s motion of no confidence against Gauteng Premier Panyaza Lesufi.
Members of the provincial legislature met to debate the DA-led motion, which seeks to remove Lesufi from office.

The opposition party alleges he mishandled issues including the disbanding of the crime prevention wardens and matters linked to the Tembisa Hospital tender corruption scandal.
EFF provincial leader Moses Koma rejected the DA’s stance, calling the move unfounded and politically motivated.
“Madam speaker, there is no motion sponsored by Stellenbosch and concocted by Donald Trump that will find expression. We want our land now.”
Political Parties Split Over Lesufi’s Future
The MK Party also refused to back the DA’s proposal, saying Lesufi should remain in office. Party representative Thabang Nkani dismissed the motion as an attack without merit.
“As the MK Party, we stand firm and unequivocal against this frivolous motion of no confidence tabled by the DA. The DA is a party founded in 1999 by a racist opposition.”
