“We not happy with the election of Geoff Makhubo as the mayor of Johannesburg. That doesn’t take away the concerns that he was working with a Gupta company. He has that relationship with them but also he was involved in a lot of other wrong things so we are not going to support the government of Makhubo because he is not trustworthy,” says Shivambu.
The EFF has lost the strategic position as king makers in the Johannesburg metro. Soon it will be on a national scale
So who voted for him? DA?
This is just crazy politics!!!
They will never accept any candidate though
On what grounds?
Eff always eject.
Lol It's obvious coz they didn't vote for him!
This man has not been honest in his businesses previously, he was a govt official and had a business deal with the govt.
Our EFF will rescue JHB again from predators
Their candidate didn't make it and they should blame themselves Jozi is not for babies
So what!
Of course!
