The Democratic Alliance (DA) and ActionSA have welcomed the resignation of Al Jama-ah councillor Thapelo Amad as the City of Johannesburg Mayor, ahead of a motion of no confidence against him, set for Tuesday.  Both parties believe he did not meet the requirements nor display the temperament to hold the position and say his rise to Mayor was owing to the African National Congress (ANC), Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) and the Patriotic Alliance.

The DA has welcomed the resignation of Thapelo Amad and has confirmed it will nominate Mpho Phalatse as their mayoral candidate.

Amad is the latest in the revolving door of mayorship in Johannesburg following his less than a hundred days in office.

The City of Joburg will elect a new mayor next week following the postponement of the metropolitan municipality's council sitting.

The DA has welcomed the resignation of Johannesburg mayor Thapelo Amad, saying it was clear during his short time in office he fell far short of the requirements for the position.
