A new mayor has been elected, the DA has become the official opposition, and eyebrows have been raised by the FF Plus.
A multiparty coalition of the ANC, EFF, and ActionSA, with the latter's Dr Nasiphi Moya as mayor, will be ruling Tshwane council affairs.She was appointed mayor after a council meeting where Eugene Modise of the ANC proposed her for the role, while Jacqui Uys of the DA nominated Brink.The election was overseen by the IEC and observers from all parties. The IEC confirmed the results.Moya was sworn in by acting Chief Magistrate V Mahlangu after her election.
The ANC stated at a media briefing that its National Working Committee had given the final go-ahead for the election negotiations, led by the secretary-general. “Eight years of DA-led coalitions and five mayors have achieved nothing other than driving the capital city to the brink of administrative collapse. The City of Tshwane is a shadow of its former self. Across the capital city, service delivery has ground to a standstill. The people in the townships are left to fend for themselves as if there’s no local government,” said Bhengu-Motsiri.
“She is the best-suited person to fix our broken capital city. She has a wealth of experience, a track record of ethical leadership and is highly qualified to lead the city. The focus from this point onward must shift to service delivery and stability and the measure of the mayor must be whether residents experience better government across all communities going forward,” said Beaumont.
He said he believes she might be capable but has been put in a position 'where she’s going to be a proxy mayor'.
