The DA in Gauteng regrets the decision of the majority of Johannesburg City Councillors to double down on the disaster of installing ANC-EFF puppet mayors incapable of governing the City with competence, public trust, and stability. The ANC-EFF puppet mayor, Cllr Kabelo Gwamanda of Al Jama-Ah, received an outright majority of votes in the first round of voting, with the DA's Cllr Mpho Phalatse receiving the second most votes. Cllr Funzi Ngobeni of ASA came last.
Tuesday’s sitting of the turbulent City of Johannesburg Council, in which a new mayor was supposed to be voted in, was marred by delays, leading to an adjournment until Friday.
