Moya vs Brink: Mayoral hopefuls make their case to lead Tshwane
ActionSA and the Democratic Alliance held separate election campaign rallies in Gauteng on Saturday.
With just over a month remaining until the 2026 local government elections, the race for the Tshwane mayorship has intensified. The incumbent, Nasiphi Moya of ActionSA, and the Democratic Alliance's candidate, Cilliers Brink, addressed their constituents in separate rallies to outline their visions for the city.
Moya, in her second term as Tshwane mayor, urged voters to give her another five years, citing her administration's achievements such as reducing municipal debt, increasing private investment, and creating jobs. She also vowed to maintain focus on safety, security, and economic growth, refusing to be removed through a no-confidence vote.
On the other hand, Brink warned that a continuation of ActionSA's rule would lead to more corruption, water tanker practices, and job losses. He emphasized the DA's extensive network of supporters and government experience, claiming it would ensure his party could better understand and cater to the needs of Tshwane's residents. Brink accused the incumbent of being an ANC puppet and called for a change in leadership to restore public safety, promote merit-based appointments, and deliver infrastructure development and services to all parts of Pretoria.
