Kabelo Gwamanda resigns as Joburg mayor, ANC’s Dada Morero poised to replace him
In a statement released on Tuesday morning, Gwamanda announced that he had submitted his resignation to the Council Speaker, marking the end of his tenure as the youngest mayor of South Africa's largest city.
In his parting words, Gwamanda reflected on his journey, emphasising that his story was one of hope and inspiration for the youth of Johannesburg. My story is one I am hopeful will continue to inspire many an African child from our city that against deprivation, isolation, social and political exclusion... one can live and rise on the noble cause of changing the conditions of the poor.
ActionSA also demanded the Speaker positions in both Johannesburg and Tshwane, as well as the cancellation of the R200 surcharge for prepaid electricity consumers. If elected, we are planning to continue the work that we said we will do. We will unveil all the plans once we are elected.
