The ANC's attempts to engage the DA to participate on issues relating to regional politics and the city council failed.

The ANC's attempts to engage the DA to participate on issues relating to regional politics and the city council failed.The African National Congress in Johannesburg said Kabelo Gwamanda merely “held the fort” and his resignation was a mutual agreement between himself, his party and the ANC.

Gwamanda, a councillor for Al Jama-ah, was the ninth mayor of the City of Joburg since the 2016 local government elections. “Councillor Dada Morero will be taking the leadership of mayorship in Johannesburg. He will be able to inspire confidence in the people of Johannesburg and ensure the acceleration of service delivery,” said Manganye.Manganye acknowledged the work that still needs to be done in order to address the issue of service delivery. He emphasised the need to introduce and reinforce bylaws in the city, particularly in the Central Business District.

She refuted the allegations of using Gwamanda and other mayors as guinea pigs from minority parties. Further defending this by saying the minority parties were aware that mayoral positions “belong to the ANC”.“There are no guinea pigs, we are not snatching any position from anybody. We are taking our rightful place as the leader of society to provide services to the people of Johannesburg.”
