CALLING TO SERVE: TSHWANE MAYOR DUCKS 2ND BID TO OUST HIM AND GOES ON STRONGER
City of Tshwane mayor Cilliers Brink is ready to serve the city until Christmas and beyond - and he refuses to back down from turning around the metro.
This week, Brink sidestepped the second motion of no-confidence attempt from the opposition parties in 17 months.
"I come to the office every day as if I am going to serve the city until 2031. I want to serve until Christmas and beyond, especially if you see the progress," he said.
"I was elected on a mandate and will do my best to continue serving the city to land our mandate.
"We have started an incredible recovery process, brought new people into management, taken disciplinary action and slowly are changing the culture and empowering the finances, which are still at major risk," he said.
Brink said he saw his service as his contribution.
