Safety and Security Mayco Member JP Smith has dismissed calls to submit his immediate resignation by the EFF over accusations that he ‘failed to deal diplomatically’ with the taxi protest.In a statement released on Wednesday, the Cape Metro EFF said that Smith had ‘failed to demonstrate strong leadership’, by not applying conflict resolution strategies to deal with the taxi protest.
‘Instead, Smith became arrogant and acted like the warmonger that he is, threatening to use state police to respond violently to the protest.’In response, Smith said that the EFF would have to discuss his resignation with the mayor. ‘I am an enforcer, I enforce the law, I don’t write the law. Safety and security is not the problem, the hatred is misguided. There needs to be consistency and logic in dealing with issues,’ he said.
