A Democratic Alliance DA motion of no confidence in Gauteng Premier Panyaza Lesufi has failed in the provincial legislature.
The party filed the motion following a Public Protector report that found Lesufis establishment of Gauteng crime wardens , popularly known as Amapanyaza, was irregular and unlawful.
DA Gauteng leader Solly Msimanga also claimed Lesufi had bloated various budgets to support his vanity projects, mishandled the Tembisa Hospital corruption saga, withheld reports related to 177 forensic investigations, and withheld or delayed lifestyle audits and their outcomes.
