The DA said this has led to instability in its caucus, government and the City of Tshwane.
Meanwhile, Molapo accused former mayor, Msimanga of sexual harassment.
The party said Msimanga considers this a smear campaign and pre-emption of the finding against Molapo.
He has opened a counter-claim against Molapo of crime injuria. However, the attempt by DA could see many women to fear to report sexual harassment cases should it arises within the organisation.
