Dr. Nasiphi Moya Elected As Tshwane's New Mayor: A Step Toward Stability
Well, folks, let me tell you something exciting. Dr. Nasiphi Moya, a respected member of ActionSA, has just been elected as the new mayor of the Tshwane metro. This makes her the fourth mayor in just three years, and I think we can all agree that’s a lot of change for one city. But hey, maybe this time, we’re finally heading in the right direction.
Before stepping into this big role, Dr. Moya wasn’t exactly new to the scene. She’s been around the block, having previously served as the deputy mayor of the council and then taking on the role of executive acting mayor. So, she knows the ropes, and that’s a good sign.
Now, let’s talk about the competition. The DA’s Cilliers Brink was nominated yet again by his party, but unfortunately for him, he didn’t get enough votes to secure the position this time around. The numbers don’t lie—Dr. Moya received a solid 122 votes, while Brink got 86. That’s a pretty clear mandate, wouldn’t you say?

So, here’s the deal: Dr. Nasiphi Moya is officially the new mayor of the Tshwane council. The position had been vacant after Cilliers Brink was removed through a motion of no confidence. And let’s be honest, that’s not exactly the kind of stability a city needs. But Dr. Moya has been holding down the fort as the Executive Acting Mayor, and now she’s officially stepping into the role full-time.
How Did Moya Secure the Win?
During a special council meeting, Dr. Moya was elected as the new mayor. The votes were tallied, and she came out on top, beating Cilliers Brink. The DA nominated Brink, while the ANC threw their support behind Dr. Moya. The numbers spoke volumes: 122 votes for Moya and 86 for Brink. That’s a pretty strong showing, and it seems like the council is ready to turn a new page.
What Does Moya Promise for Tshwane?
In her very first speech as mayor, Dr. Moya made it crystal clear where her priorities lie. She’s all about bringing stability to the council and ensuring that service delivery improves for all residents. Now, that’s something everyone in Tshwane can get behind, don’t you think?
“I am not an ActionSA mayor, or a mayor from any other political party for that matter. I will be the mayor for the residents of Tshwane,” she declared passionately.
Dr. Moya also touched on an important issue: the growing divide between the affluent areas and the disadvantaged neighborhoods. She wants to level the playing field, making sure that the same quality of services available in the wealthier areas is also available in the previously disadvantaged areas. That’s a big promise, but one that could make a world of difference for many residents.
“The services received in our affluent areas will be the services received by our people in the previously disadvantaged areas,” she emphasized.
She also called on all the councillors to set aside their political differences and work together for the betterment of Tshwane. Her message was clear: “Our residents deserve better.” And honestly, who could argue with that?
Herman Mashaba’s Take on the ANC Support
Earlier, Briefly News reported that the ANC decided to throw their support behind Dr. Nasiphi Moya for the role of mayor. Their reasoning? To bring much-needed stability to the troubled metro and ensure that service delivery remains a top priority. That’s a smart move if you ask me.

ActionSA’s Herman Mashaba seemed thrilled about the partnership with the ANC and EFF. He compared it to a walk in the park, which suggests that he believes this collaboration could lead to some real progress for Tshwane. Here’s hoping he’s right, because the people of Tshwane deserve nothing less than the best.
