DA councillor Randall Williams has been re-elected unopposed for the second term as the executive mayor for the City of Tshwane.
The party’s Katlego Mathebe was elected for a second term as Speaker.
“I would like to thank Tshwane residents for strengthening our country’s democracy. I accept the role of Executive Mayor with deep gratitude and humility, and I am encouraged by the faith that has been placed in me to once again lead our great city,” said Williams after being sworn in.
The ANC did not submit any candidate for the mayoral position and refused to vote for the nominated candidates of their rivals.
The governing party’s regional leadership said it would remain in the opposition benches and would not be controlled by the EFF.
