The position became vacant after an external legal opinion found that it was unlawful for former mayor Randall Williams to amend his resignation to be effective as of 28 February instead of the 13th.
JOHANNESBURG - The Economic Freedom Fighters in Tshwane said that it would not be putting up a candidate to stand for the vacant mayoral position.
EFF regional chairperson, Obakeng Ramabodu, said that they planned to hold accountable whoever became the next mayor. Meanwhile, African National Congress regional secretary George Matjila said that they were in consultations with smaller parties in Tshwane over who they would field to contest for mayor.
