Give me five years and I'll turn Tshwane around - ex-mayor

Former City of Tshwane mayor Cilliers Brink "needs five years to turn around Tshwane" after being announced as the DA's mayoral candidate for Tshwane.

Brink said voters can bring him back in the 2026 local government elections.

"The last time the voters spoke was in 2021."

He was confident he would be re-elected, adding ActionSA has not only lost a lot of support, but was also afraid to face the voters.

"The city is either going to be run by an ANC coalition or a DA coalition - as simple as that. Everything in between tends towards the ANC."

The ANC, which was the puppet master behind the scenes, wanted to take control of the Tshwane administration and replace city manager Johann Mettler with deployed cadres and continue the project of looting.
