Cape Town – ActionSA’s Dr Nasiphi Moya has been elected as the new Mayor of Tshwane, securing 122 votes against the Democratic Alliance’s (DA) Cilliers Brink, who received 86 votes.
The election followed Brink’s removal last week through an ANC-sponsored motion of no confidence, backed by the EFF and ActionSA.
Moya’s candidacy was supported by the ANC, EFF, and smaller parties like the Good Party and ATM.

The ANC criticised the DA’s governance since 2016, blaming it for Tshwane’s decline in service delivery and administrative collapse.
Moya was elected in the Pretoria council chamber.
