Metros across the country held their inaugural council meetings to elect their new mayors. This, as most municipalities will be serving through coalitions following the 2021 local government elections. The DA's Doctor Mpho Phalatse was elected the new Mayor of the City of Johannesburg yesterday. Phalatse's appointment marked the second major blow to the ANC, which also lost the City of Ekurhuleni, where the DA's Tania Campbell, beat the ANC's outgoing city mayor Mzwandile Masina. In Ethekwini, the inaugural council meeting was postponed after police had into interveen after a group of alleged ANC supporters disrupted the meeting.
