OPINION | Accountability is seriously lacking among SA's political parties

I breathed a sigh of relief as I digested newspaper headlines announcing that the city of Tshwane has a mayor after weeks of political instability. On March 28 DA caucus leader and former party MP Cilliers Brink won the mayoral election against Cope’s sole councillor, Ofentse Moalusi. Brink has succeeded the embattled on-and-off former Cope councillor Dr Murunwa Makwarela.
