Johannesburg – The ANC and its coalition partners in the City of Joburg have agreed to endorse Mpho Moerane as their mayoral candidate following the tragic passing of former mayor Jolidee Matongo in a horrific road accident.
Announcing the decision, Makhura said the death of Matongo left a “political vacuum in the City of Joburg” while some local residents were continuing to experience massive disruptions in electricity supply, including an intermittent shortage of water in some communities. “We want to make sure that the residents of Joburg continue to receive services even if we are still grieving about the loss of Jolidee. While we are aware it's only 30 days to the elections, some of the local residents are having unstable electricity supply intermittent water cuts. This needs to be dealt with by the political leadership of the City.“The political vacuum that exists in Joburg needs to be cleared.
Makhura said that if Moerane was elected as mayor, his immediate priority would be to establish his mayoral committee on the same day. He added that the ANC national officials had also endorsed Moerane, so there was no need for another round of interviews.
