11 August 2021
By A Correspondent- Jolidee Matongo was recently elected as mayor of Joburg on Tuesday, 10 August.
Social media users are however already calling for his rejection under the hashtag #WeRejectMayorOfJHB on the basis that he is half Zimbabwean.
When he accepted his nomination to be mayor during Tuesday’s council, Matongo said:
“I, Jolidee Matongo, the son of the late Edward Matongo, a migrant from Zimbabwe, do here accept the nomination for the executive mayor of our city.”
Today, 11 August, he’s expected to be inaugurated as mayor as announced by his members of mayoral committee team.
