 The motion of confidence against Brink was sponsored by the African National Congress (ANC) and supported by ActionSA, which recently exited the multi-party coalition in Tshwane.

Mashaba said that the appointment of Moya as mayor was one of the conditions his party put forward during negotiations.

"When the ANC approached me about a month ago, I did not waste any time, the only conditions were for us to work with them, I said: 'Let's look at all of our councillors'. The best candidate is Dr Nasiphi Moya, who's the current deputy mayor."
