Kabelo Gwamanda, the mayor of Johannesburg, has resigned.
In a statement released on Tuesday morning, Gwamanda confirmed that he had submitted his resignation to the council speaker.
“As the youngest mayor of Johannesburg, I am humbled by the opportunity to have led this city and to have stabilised it financially and administratively, following the collapse of the multiparty coalition government,” Gwamanda said.
He also mentioned that he would “continue to serve the people of Johannesburg as a councillor”.
The resignation will begin on a date decided by the speaker, after which a new executive mayor will be elected by the council.
