Moya puts Mettler at risk

OUSTING: DA CALLS FOR MAYOR'S POSITION AS ANC ATTACKS CITY MANAGER

- Marizka Coetzer

City of Tshwane mayor Nasiphi Moya has still not made her position clear in the latest fight in which city manager Johann Mettler's job is on the line, DA Tshwane caucus leader Cilliers Brink says.

Last week, the ANC in Tshwane alleged that Mettler's appointment was conducted in a manner that mocks the prescripts on the appointment of senior managers.

Brink said he wrote to Action SA's Moya to express the DA's concern about statements made by the ANC in the media, attacking the validity of Mettler's appointment as municipal manager.

"We want to caution you against such an allegation being used as a pretext for removing Mettler from his position irrationally and unlawfully, or otherwise placing undue pressure on him to resign.
