Gwamanda says he is humbled by the opportunity he was given to lead the City following the collapse of the multi-party coalition government.

In a statement released on Tuesday morning, Gwamanda said his resignation was in line with the “political engagements that have taken place over the past weeks” and the “new political architecture of governance” following the May 29 national and provincial elections.

“As the youngest mayor of Johannesburg, I am humbled by the opportunity to have led this City and to have stabilized it financially and administratively following the collapse of the multi-party coalition government. I am pleased that we managed to place good governance on course and that we achieved the best audit outcomes witnessed by the City in years,” he explained.
