Tshwane flying on autopilot after council meeting to elect new mayor collapses

The city was expected to vote in the meeting for a new mayor after the resignation of Stevens Mokgalapa. It was also expected to debate and approve budget adjustments.

The development means the city is now flying on “autopilot”, with no mayor or permanent city manager. The latest developments have increased the risk of the municipality being placed under administration by the provincial government. ANC Tshwane chairperson, Kgosi Maepa said they wanted Mathebe to be prevented from chairing the meeting on Thursday because of the investigation into her. “The ANC feels that it is time she steps aside because there is an investigation against her, by a senior counsel appointed independently,” said Maepa.

MYANC at its best. Completely dysfunctional.

You cant fly a city, you guys enjoy sensationalism
