On Tuesday, the City of Johannesburg’s metropolitan municipality’s council sitting to elect a new mayor was postponed.
The city was scheduled to hold a special council meeting on Tuesday, but the plans were cancelled after the resignation of Al Jama-ah councillor Thapelo Amad as mayor. According to the city’s statement released on Tuesday, “The cancellation was necessitated by the resignation of the executive mayor, councillor Thapelo Amad, as Section 60 of Local Government Municipal Structures Act 117 of 1998, as amended requires that: ‘If the executive mayor vacates office, the mayoral committee appointed by that executive mayor dissolves’.
The postponement has also led to speculation about the reasons behind Amad’s resignation and whether the ANC will be able to retain control of Johannesburg.in front of the Standing Committee for Public Accounts.Maimane criticised De Ruyter for undermining the committee by refusing to name the ministers involved in organised crime at Eskom and the minister who allegedly made a statement about “allowing people to eat”.
