Mayor explains why coalition government in City of Tshwane has been successful

The coalition government comprises the DA, ActionSA, Freedom Front Plus, ACDP, IFP and Cope.
It celebrated the milestone by outlining some of the achievements attained over the past 12 months.
The City of Tshwane's coalition government, made up of six political parties, on Monday celebrated a year at the helm of the council, despite the instability of coalition governments in other parts of the country.

In November 2021, Randal Williams was elected unopposed as Tshwane mayor after the DA won 32.03% of the vote, giving it 69 seats during last year's local government elections.
