After the DA scooped the position of council speaker with the help of ActionSA, among others, Mashaba pulled out of the race for the mayoral chain.
As a result, only two candidates were nominated for the city's top political office — the DA's Mpho Phalatse and ANC's Mpho Moerane. It was not immediately clear why Mashaba pulled out but if the results for the position of speaker are anything to go by, Phalatse appears set to triumph against Moerane.
The EFF was the deciding vote in the speaker contest, with the DA's Vasco da Gama winning by 29 votes — the exact number of seats the red berets have in the council.Voting for the mayorship was to continue at the Brixton Multi-purpose Centre in Johannesburg after a brief recess.
Thanx God 4 wat u dd,MASHABA IS ANY DEVIL by him self he wl rule in hell
What a great man. 👍
It's better than having ANC in power forver
Politics at its best
Ya phara politic bro, don't worry your turn will come go back to drawing board.
Aowa Mashaba 🤔😂😂😂
This is seismic. To lose Ekurhuleni, Joburg and probably City of Tshwane in one fell swoop is too huge a blow to take for ANC. Three Gauteng Metros? Somebody tell me I am dreaming. Indeed, life is full of surprises.
He didn't pull out...he didnt have the support he needed. Naturally you abscond not pull out...yekani amanga
Respect to you Herman!
