Kaya 959 Point of View with Phemelo Motene

Tania Campbell - being the 1st citizen of Ekurhuleni after being voted back.

Loading player...
The Democratic Alliance (DA) Tania Campbell was on Tuesday reinstated as mayor of Ekurhuleni, beating out the African National Congress's (ANC) Jongizizwe Dlabathi.

Campbell received 124 out of 224 votes to return to the helm, while Dlabathi only managed to secure 99 of the votes cast.

Campbell was voted out through a motion of no confidence just last month.

Talks between the ANC and the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) failed, with the ANC's provincial executive committee in Gauteng rejecting a proposal this morning for the election of an EFF mayor in the city.
