Tensions are running high with only a week before the new mayor of the City of Tshwane is announced.

Yesterday, ActionSA leader Herman Mashaba said the DA would never be back in power in Tshwane again.

"We are making progress with the ANC and a new mayor will be elected before the end of the 14 days.

"I had a very successful meeting with the ANC yesterday - the first official meeting to talk about the broad terms of our agreement," he said.

Mashaba said they have committed to a follow-up meeting in the next few days.

"The new mayor will be elected within the prescribed legal requirements.

"By next Thursday the City of Tshwane will have a new mayor and it won't be [Cilliers] Brink," he said.

EFF regional chair Obakeng Ramabodu called out the city manager Johann Mettler for reprimanding municipal workers after the motion of no confidence against Brink.
