Newly-elected Johannesburg mayor, Thapelo Amad, from the Muslim minority Al Jama-ah party, on Friday shared his vision for the cleanup of the city

Delivering his maiden speech in council, Amad said: “I’m overwhelmed, I have mixed emotions, but it is a responsibility nonetheless.

“Our communities urge us to remember our promises in their different manifestos. Decent and sustainable job opportunities, defeating poverty, good roads and zero potholes, protection of our women and children from the scourge of GBV... economic opportunities. “For too long our residents have watched in disappointment while we fight among each other politically while their conditions remain unchanged.

“Today we witness the efforts made in uniting this council and honouring our promise to our communities,” Amad said.
