Randall Williams claims John Steenhuisen informed him of his firing and pressured him to resign as Tshwane mayor, despite coalition leaders' support. File picture: Jacques Naude/ Independent NewspaperRandall Williams, the former Tshwane mayor, claims he resigned in February 2023, after Democratic Alliance leader John Steenhuisen informed him he was fired.
“John stated that he was merely the messenger and that the decision had been made by the Federal Executive of the DA. After delivering this news, John asked me a bizarre question: ‘So, how do you feel about being fired?’ I mean, if someone fires you, how are you supposed to feel good?” “I resign today not in frustration, resentment, or anger but in peace knowing that I have been given an incredible opportunity and I have fulfilled my duties to the best of my abilities.”
“However, the other leaders refused, insisting that the mayor – meaning me – should first present the recovery plan, and then they could discuss anything else afterwards. The chair of the FF Plus agreed.”
