The Democratic Alliance (DA) has appointed Councillor Abel Tau as the Acting Executive Mayor of the DA-led City of Tshwane while Mayor Stevens Mokgalapa has taken special leave to allow the Federal Legal Commission to conclude its investigation into recent allegations against him.

Councillor Tau has been serving as a member of the city’s Mayoral Committee (MMC) for Utilities since March 2019 as well as the DA Gauteng North Regional Chairperson since October 2017 and has been a long-serving Ward Councillor prior to that.
