The Pretoria High Court has overturned the Tshwane Council's bid to sideline City Manager Johan Mettler, ordering his immediate reinstatement. Mettler was suspended after a closed vote during a council meeting, but the court ruled that the Speaker did not have the authority to determine a councillor's eligibility to vote or subtract votes. The court also found that the acting city manager's appointment was unlawful and ordered that Mettler resume his duties. Both the DA and ActionSA welcomed the ruling.
