Mayor Makhubo resigns to follow Mashaba to bright green pastures

The DA notes the resignation of Johannesburg Mayor Geoff Makhubo from both the Mayor’s Office and the ANC, to join his predecessor at ActionSA. Makhubo sent a hand-written letter to all parties in Council confirming that the weight of his testimony at the Zondo Commission had become too much to bear, and that recent factional battles for regional leadership were likely to go in favour of Mpho Moerane who commanded a far more lucrative portfolio. He apparently felt that there was no better place for political castaways than ActionSA, whose bright colours represent his favourite putting green at the Leeuwkop Country Club.
