Maverick News: ‘In 100 days you’ll see a difference’, vows newly elected Johannesburg mayor Thapelo Amad

After a long day of council proceedings on Friday, the majority of councillors in Johannesburg voted in favour of Al Jama-ah’s Thapelo Amad to take over as the city’s executive mayor.

His election comes just hours after the axing of Phalatse through a motion of no confidence on Thursday. The motion which saw Phalatse face the chop was brought by the African Transformation Movement’s Lubabalo Nogatshu who argued she’d failed to deliver services to the marginalised and poor residents of Johannesburg.

Before this, Phalatse faced several other motions of no confidence— some failed and some were withdrawn. PA President, Gayton McKenzie echoed similar sentiments slamming the DA, accusing them of negotiating in bad faith and undermining small parties in council.

Like all posts held now it's not service delivery, they are not capable, it's about politics.

Not only the richest, but also the most filthy one!

Insanity!! This man has zero experience! This is going to be a nightmare for residents! Stand up and fight against it!

Get it right, it is 'Abubakar' not 'Abubark'

With a BA in Islamic studies...

Madness...absolute madness

I'm not fazed

It's a fuggin joke!

What a fuggin joke! We want our Mayor back she was starting to make a 'moer' of a difference.

Its how corruption begins...

The UK also thought a foreigner Arab was a good idea. Now it's worse there.

Weekend special mayor 🤣✊

Congratulations in order 🎤✍️

Thanks to the tweeting party & the PA.

Madness!
