Joburg voted for change
23 August 2016
On behalf of the Democratic Alliance in Gauteng, I wish to congratulate, the new Executive Mayor of the City of Johannesburg, Herman Mashaba on his election victory last night.
Mashaba was elected by a combined vote of most opposition parties.
Herman’s election came at a difficult time for the entire council, when proceedings were interrupted by the sudden passing away of ANC Cllr Nonhlanhla Mthembu. Our heartfelt condolences go out to her family, loved ones, and the ANC.
I also wish to extend my warmest congratulations to the newly elected Speaker of the council, Cllr Vasco Da Gama and the Chief Whip, Dr Kevin Wax.
