The speaker of the Ekurhuleni council says a meeting will be held on Thursday to elect a new mayor after the provincial government threatened to intervene.
On Wednesday evening, the four biggest political parties, the ANC, DA, EFF and ActionSA, were locked in separate meetings to discuss who they would endorse to become the next mayor as none of them has the majority to pick a mayor single-handedly.
