Mashaba told The Citizen yesterday that the councillors had failed to meet their key performance indicators (KPIs), which they were given in September last year.

The Citizen understands that some councillors received a communication about their removal while they were sitting in a council meeting.

Mashaba said two councillors in the City of Ekurhuleni and two from the City of Tshwane had also been removed.

"We gave some of our councillors KPIs because we realised that some of them were not coming to the party. We gave them until the end of May this year to meet their KPIs and this process was even postponed to June.

"On Friday a report was presented and some of them did not even meet 10% of their KPIs.
