Ekurhuleni Mayor Nkosindiphile Xhakaza's late-night reshuffle of his Mayoral Committee has led to the EFF withdrawing from the coalition, creating uncertainty in the city's governance. The move, which expanded ANC positions and reduced the EFF's roles, was rejected by both the EFF and ActionSA. This leaves the ANC-led coalition without a majority in the 224-seat council.
