Finally! Good riddance! After 6 & half years of Our_DA disastrous incompetence, corruption and failures. Billions of rands looted. TshwaneEff , Please make sure these DA corrupt thugs are arrested? They can't just silently resign. They belong in jail. VoetsekDA

Even resigning is a tender.

This is how leaders behave; not this nonsense that we see often where a leader implicated in serious wrongdoing does not resign or goes on an election campaign! I take my hat off to Randal. There are still ethical politicians around.

I have never even heard of him,till now 🤐

Tshwane is in trouble. Clear proof that these arrangements are not working.

To those who thought governing municipality was easy I say to you cheers 🥂
