Cape Town Mayor Geordin Hill-Lewis survives first motion of no confidence
Cape Town Mayor Geordin Hill-Lewis has survived his first motion of no confidence.
The motion was tabled by the National Coloured Congress (NCC) during a full council sitting on Wednesday.
The party accused Hill-Lewis of 'abuse of power, lack of professionalism, and failure to fulfil the responsibilities expected of the City's highest office'.
The vote was conducted via open ballot.
The motion was defeated, with 138 councillors voting against it, 46 in favour, and one abstention.
