From a stench to finances: Here’s what is on the new Mopani District mayor’s to-do list
Mamanyoha's appointment was not without controversy.
The recent appointment of three new mayors in Limpopo has brought both excitement and controversy. In Giyani, Dagma Mamanyoha took on the role of executive mayor for the Mopani District Municipality, following former mayor Dagma Mamanyoha’s resignation. When asked about his priorities, Mamanyoha pledged to work towards making Mopani a popular tourist destination and a food supplier for the entire country.
He also highlighted the need to tackle the ongoing water and sewage issues in the region, as well as addressing the stench that has plagued Giyani town. The new mayor also expressed his gratitude to his predecessor, Pule Shayi, for his leadership during his tenure. However, the appointment of Mamanyoha was met with some controversy, as he failed to recognize ANC Norman Mashabane Regional Secretary Sonia Ngobeni Maswanganyi during the ceremony.
Additionally, the chamber was filled predominantly with Sepedi-speaking ANC members, leading to concerns about the resurgence of tribalism in the region.
