While many political posts do not require a university qualification as a prerequisite, newly elected Joburg mayor, Kabelo Gwamanda, suggested he could be ‘a black version of John Steenhuisen’ (Steenhuisen does not have a university degree). He made the remark when quizzed about his highest qua.
Al Jamah-ah's Kabelo Gwamanda was elected as the new City of Johannesburg mayor, on Friday, beating ActionSA’s Funzi Ngubeni and the Democratic Alliance’s (DA’s) Mpho Phalatse for the position. The election follows the resignation of Thapelo Amad, who resigned last week.
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.
