# The IFP in Ekurhuleni withdrew its motion of no confidence in council speaker, Nthabiseng Tshivhenga, moments before it was set to be heard in council on Thursday. The party submitted the motion last week, saying the EFF speaker was no longer fit to be in the position, because she allegedly failed to maintain proper decorum, schedules, and council resolutions. Tshivhenga’s office was also accused of fraud. The IFP says the decision to withdraw the motion came after some parties backed out at the last minute.
