New Joburg mayor plans to prioritise service delivery: Newly-elected City of Johannesburg mayor Thapelo Amad has promised to prioritise service delivery, fix potholes, stabilise the city's finances as well as rooting out corruption.

Up until Thursday, AIC councillor Margaret Arnolds was tipped to replace Phalatse who was ousted through a motion of no confidence tabled on Thursday.

However, it is understood the ANC had a change of heart during the horse-trading talks during Thursday's meeting with Amad coming out on top.This is a bigger task given to me and I believe with unity, we can defeat anything. "We've identified five key areas and this government will work hard to ensure services are delivered to all. Our priorities are to ensure our residents have access to clean water, have proper roads and feel safe," Amad said.

Following the election, Amad was joined by Patriotic Alliance president Gayton McKenzie as well as ANC Gauteng chairperson Panyaza Lesufi for an impromptu media briefing."It was just unfortunate in Ekurhuleni the DA is postponing something that is inevitable instead of democracy to take its own course, they decided to delay and collapse the meeting," he said.

Lesufi was referring to the Ekurhuleni council sitting that collapsed on Thursday. The speaker and chief whip were facing motions of no confidence in that meeting."If you look at all the coalitions in the country that crumbled, it is always where the DA is because they come with the white superiority complex and entitlement," McKenzie said.
