Motion to oust Muzila collapses

The motion to topple Muzila was initially tabled by councillor Gaone Majere of the Umbrella for Democratic Change (UDC) two weeks ago. However, it could not be debated at the time because councillors and council officials did not understand the standing orders, which govern the toppling of a city mayor through a motion of no confidence. The council was postponed to yesterday to allow the council legal team to seek clarity on the standing orders.

However, yesterday when given the platform to present his motion again, Ipopeng ward councillor Majere chose to withdraw it.
