We will have a mayor in Tshwane. The DA will have MMCs in Tshwane if they agree. They will have a mayor in Joburg and we will have the MMCs in Joburg.”

There are no fights, there are talks about how do we share power since we come from elections.” — Economic Freedom Fighters May 16, 2019 He said the mayoral candidate was going to be a leader of the EFF in Tshwane .“It would be very early to pre-empt how those talks would come up because in the negotiations there are lots of factors to take into account,” he said.
