October 2002 floor crossing

In terms of the Eighth Amendment of the Constitution and the judgment of the Constitutional Court in United Democratic Movement v President of the Republic of South Africa and Others, in the period from 8–22 October 2002 councillors had the opportunity to cross the floor to a different political party without losing their seats.

In the Tshwane council, seven councillors crossed from the Democratic Alliance (DA) to the New National Party (NNP), which had formerly been part of the DA, one councillor crossed from the DA to the African National Congress (ANC), and two councillors left the DA to sit as independents. The two councillors of Vision 2000+ crossed to the Christian Democratic Party; the single United Democratic Movement councillor crossed to the United Christian Democratic Party; and one independent councillor joined the ANC.[3]
