ANC’s Matongo was the only candidate nominated for the city of Johannesburg mayoral candidate, the speaker of council announced
Only one candidate was nominated for the council election, said the speaker, Nonceba Molwele.
Matongo said he would continue the work of the late Johannesburg mayor, Geoff Makhubo, adding that the government has already been approved and would only be adjusted if the elections are postponed. “We will have to ensure we deal with the issue of land invasion. The alternative is on the table to provide people with sites,” adding that he would be a mayor who is on the ground with the people.
Matongo holds a number of qualifications including a diploma in public management, a postgraduate degree in public management from Unisa and a postgraduate diploma in management from the Milpark Business School. He is pursuing his master’s degree in public management at MANCOSA. This comes after the government proclaimed 27 October as the date for local government elections to comply with the law. The government has indicated it will support the legal bid by the Electoral Commission of South Africa
