11 August 2016
Cape Town - The new City of Cape Town council got straight down to business with the re-election of Dirk Smit and Patricia de Lille to the position of Speaker and Mayor respectively on Thursday.
''I would like to thank you for the opportunity to serve as the Speaker in the City of Cape Town,'' said Smit before carrying on with the business of election of the mayor.
He committed himself to serving the city and not a political agenda, adding that his door would be open for questions and advice, without any party bias.
De Lille was elected opposite ANC candidate Xolani Sotashe.
