The Tshwane metro council is expected to hold an election for a new mayor on Friday, with the lone-seat PAC member, Molwantwa Tshabadi, tipped to take over the reins of the capital city.
Tshabadi is set to go head-to-head with DA multiparty coalition candidate Cilliers Brink, who lost the most recent mayoral election to disgraced former mayor Murunwa Makwarela.was removed from the Tshwane mayoral office after it emerged he had submitted a fake rehabilitation notice amid an insolvency scandal that disqualified him from occupying public office.
The DA caucus this week also got disqualified in the speaker election because its leadership had assigned a number to each candidate in the election to ensure that all their councilors toed the line.subsequently disqualified all DA votes as the move by its caucus leaders was found to be unlawful in terms of the rules around the secrecy of ballot papers.
This is part of a trend that started in Joburg with the election of Cope’s Colleen Makhubele as speaker and Al-Jama-ah’s Thapelo Amad as mayor.
