Tania Campbell was elected executive mayor yesterday after 116 votes were cast in her favour. She was up against the African national Congress (ANC)'s Mzwandile Masina. The municipality is among the five metro municipalities that were hung - meaning they will be governed through a coalition.

Ms Campbell has been a Democratic Alliance councillor in the City of Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Municipality since 2000. In 2013, she was elected chairwoman of the DA caucus in the metro. She was also the DA's community safety spokesperson in the metro. In October 2020, she was elected as DA caucus leader after the incumbent, Phillip de Lange, resigned after a motion of no confidence was brought against him.

We get to know more about her and her plans for the metro; and we urge people who reside in Ekurhuleni to call in and have a conversation with their new ‘mother’
