New Tshwane mayor vows to get to bottom of multi-billion rand GladAfrica saga
Newly elected Tshwane Mayor Stevens Mokgalapa has vowed to become "Mr Service Delivery" who will act on the multi-billion rand GladAfrica saga.
Mokgalapa was elected on Wednesday during a special council sitting - a day after his predecessor, Solly Msimanga, vacated office and took up a new role as one of the DA's members of the provincial legislature.
This is the DA's second mayor since it took control of the capital city from the ANC through a coalition government following the 2016 municipal elections.
"The people of Tshwane are impatient for change. Progress has been made, but not enough," said Mokgalapa in his maiden address at council.
Mokgalapa promised to work tirelessly to improve service delivery for all the metro's residents - an issue he also raised during a media briefing when he was announced as the DA's mayoral candidate.
