Fracas in Cape Town management continues

The Independent Democrats’ caucus leader in Cape Town, Simon Grindrod, will deliver a letter to ousted city manager Wallace Mgoqi on Tuesday recommending that he vacate his Civic Centre office until the Cape High Court determines the legality of his contract on the 9th of next month. Mgoqi continues to defy mayor Helen Zille by refusing to vacate his post and by going to work every day.

Meanwhile, Grindrod has expressed disappointment and concern that Zille has not agreed to attend a meeting with ANC leaders to discuss the attack on her in Crossroads on Saturday. Grindrod says he is very disappointed that Zille has communicated through the media that she does not see a point in meeting to discuss the incident. He added that he attempted to get the ANC and DA to talk face-to-face and find a way to ensure that this kind of thing never happens again.
