“Whether or not one agrees with the ruling made by the Chair of Chairs, Alex Christians, last Thursday, 5 December 2019, regarding the motion brought against Johannesburg Speaker, Vasco da Gama – the ruling stands until overturned by a court,” Moriarty said in a media statement.

As such, the DA’s Vasco da Gama is still the Speaker, claims Moriarty.

“Only the Speaker can call Council Meetings. The MEC cannot call a Council Meeting. Neither can the Mayor, or the City Manager,” he said… concluding that therefore the meeting is illegal.
