The Al Jama-ah Party member said he would continue to Joburg residents as a councillor.

Cllr Gwamanda, says he’s humbled by the opportunity he was given to have led the City following the collapse of the Multi-Party coalition government.

In a statement released on Tuesday morning, Gwamanda says his resignation was in line with the “political engagements that have taken place over the past weeks” and the “new political architecture of governance” following the May 29 national and provincial Elections. “As the youngest mayor of Johannesburg, I am humbled by the opportunity to have led this City and to have stabilised it financially and administratively following the collapse of the Multi-Party coalition government. I am pleased that we managed to place good governance on course and that we achieved the best audit outcomes witnessed by the City in years,” he explains.

“My story is one I am hopeful will continue to inspire many an African child from our City against deprivation, isolation, and social and political exclusion and with the absence of friends and peers in the Corporate and Media hierarchy, one can live and rise on the noble cause of changing the conditions of the poor,” says Mayor Gwamanda.
