The City of Tshwane is hunting for a new mayor following the disqualification of Murunwa Makwarela on Tuesday morning. Makwarela, who was elected in the position last week, was disqualified as a PR councillor for Cope, which affected his mayoral position after being accused of dishonesty.
The election of the City of Tshwane Speaker and Cope Dr Murunwa Makwarela as mayor has officially signalled the end of Cope's relationship with the coalition partnership of the DA, ActionSA, IFP and UDM.
