More turmoil in Cape Town City Council

The battle for control of the Cape Town City Council continues with yet another claim in a letter being labelled as false. Leader of the African Muslim Party Wasfie Hassiem says he has laid a complaint with police over a claim that he and a colleague had been removed from their council posts. The AMP is one of the smaller parties that gave the DA-led multi-party administration a one-seat majority in the council. The claim is made in a letter sent to sacked city manager, Wallace Mgoqi, who continues to occupy his office. Should the contents of the letter prove to be valid, the current city leadership could crumble.
