Joburg DA to approach Gauteng govt to force council sitting to elect new mayor | tshidi_lee
JOHANNESBURG - The Democratic Alliance in the Johannesburg City Council has decided to approach the provincial government in a bid to force a sitting to elect the late Mayor Geoff Makhubo’s replacement.
She also pointed out that in 2019, when Herman Mashaba, a DA mayor, resigned, the African National Congress pushed for the election of the new mayor within a week. The ANC won back control of the metro during that period. While tragic circumstances led to the City of Joburg being without a mayor, the DA said that ANC factional considerations were taking advantage of the Structures Act, which dictated that the post should be filled when necessary. This was different from picking a mayor after council had been elected where there were set deadlines.
