- The City of Cape Town's budget delivery by Mayor Geordin Hill-Lewis was delayed due to chaos surrounding a motion of no confidence in the speaker, Felicity Purchase, which couldn't proceed as the councillor who tabled it was absent.
- The situation escalated with outraged councillors interrupting the proceedings, leading to a call for Purchase to step down, and it was revealed that the motion's mover had switched political parties from the African National Congress (ANC) to the Democratic Alliance (DA).
