Johannesburg – Jolidee Matongo has been elected the new mayor of Johannesburg.
Matongo has been serving as a member of the ANC regional executive committee for 18 years.
The new mayor says his administration will work very hard to provide service and good governance.
“We do have a team in mind but because it’s a government of local unity with the coalition partners we still have to confirm the names of the other team members with them,” said Matongo.
“We have an accelerated service delivery programme that we are currently rolling out. Every day of the week we are on the ground, we are not in our offices.
“We’re looking at issues like potholes, of road markings, of burst water pipes and everything like that,” the mayor said.
“We are on the ground. We are not going to be a leadership in the office.”
