Randall Williams elected Tshwane Mayor unopposed
23 November 2021
The Democratic Alliance (DA) in Gauteng wishes to congratulate Randall Williams who was elected as Executive Mayor of Tshwane unopposed. Cllr Katlego Mathebe has been elected as Council Speaker and Cllr Christo van der Heever the Council Chief Whip.
The DA took over governance after the municipality was illegally placed under administration in 2020. In the eight months of ANC-appointed administrators taking over, the City accumulated a budget deficit of R4 billion and service delivery was at an all-time low.
In just 11 months of taking over, Mayor Williams was able to turn things around by implementing plans to fix electricity outages, repairing potholes, streetlights, water leaks and restoring basic services that were neglected under the ANC.
The DA has full confidence that Mayor Williams and his caucus will continue in the trajectory of good governance, eradicating corruption and serving in the interest of the people of Tshwane.
