COPE councillor Murunwa Makwarela replaces DA’s Katlego Mathebe as new council speaker for Tshwane

The City of Tshwane has elected COPE councillor Murunwa Makwarela to take over the reins as speaker of the capital city’s council.

Mathebe resigned this week and was appointed as a mayoral committee member for environment and agriculture management. Mathebe had been re-elected as speaker unopposed last year after the local government elections, however, negotiations took some time as parties tried to reach agreement over which party would be given positions in the coalition government.

ANC chief whip Aaron Maluleka had told the sitting that his party would not field a candidate to challenge Makwarela.“I would like to thank you for showing confidence in me by electing me to be the speaker of this council. I hope that with your support and co-operation, together we will run our meetings as efficiently as possible, always bearing in mind that our responsibility is to accelerate service delivery, particularly to the neediest communities,” said Makwarela.

Kwaaaks 😂😂😂😂. DA arrogance will leave them hanging
