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

“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.“Farewell to the former speaker, councillor Rachel Katlego Mathebe. Hey, we had a very difficult five years.

Mayor Randall Williams welcomed Makwarela's appointment and said the position called for him to act in a fair and impartial manner at all times. “You will be required to stay calm during heated debates and you will have to show leadership during those difficult times. You will be placed under tremendous pressure to take certain decisions, however your job is simple to make decisions in terms of the rules of council,” said Williams.

The EFF did not deliver a welcome speech while ActionSA’s Abel Tau also welcomed Makwarela as the new speaker.
