African Independent Congress councillor is Ekurhuleni's new mayor (Independent Online)

ANC provincial chairperson in Gauteng Panyaza Lesufi says he hopes the election of the new mayor in Ekurhuleni will bring stability to the municipality.

In KwaZulu-Natal there was also an ANC-EFF coalition that has been mounting a fight to remove the IFP from some of its former strongholds after it lost support in the last elections in local government. After the election of Thapelo Armad in Johannesburg, the ANC-EFF coalition failed in its bid on two occasions to get a mayor from Cope to occupy the position. The election of Ngodwana comes after the ANC-EFF coalition had put councillors from smaller parties in the Gauteng metros into mayoral positions while councillors from the two major parties were appointed onto mayoral committees.
