The ANC in Mangaung is threatening to subject its councillors to polygraph testing after some of them defied the party line and voted for DA councillor Maryke Davies as the new Speaker of the Mangaung Metropolitan Municipality.
Not towing the party line, the majority ANC-led council saw power slip out of its hands as Davies was elected Speaker notwithstanding that her party only has 26 seats compared to the ANC’s 51 seats in the 101-seat council.
She received a resounding 53 votes out of 93 valid votes on the day.
