Solly Msimanga has announced that he will step down as Tshwane Mayor next month. He made the announcement at the Democratic Alliance’s (DA) headquarters in Johannesburg.
I’d like to thank the people of Tshwane for entrusting me with the responsibility of bettering their lives.
The progress we have made in the City will be emulated across the Province. It is possible to bring real change to Gauteng.
The power lies in the hands of every voter. pic.twitter.com/KwAKKdwVwY
