The DA Joburg notes the resignation of Sarah Wissler as a Councillor within the City of Joburg and we wish her well in her future endeavours.
We recognise that Residents of Ward 23 cannot be left without representation or assistance and as such the DA have allocated Cllr Tyrell Meyers to the ward to provide residents with support during this time. He is a standing PR Councillor within Johannesburg and as the ward is now vacant such allocation is legitimately recognised. Cllr Meyers has served the residents of Johannesburg South for 15 years, is currently serving as the Chairperson of the Johannesburg South Constituency, and is Chairperson of the City’s Transport Oversight Committee.
Cllr Meyers will serve as a PR Councillor within Ward 23 until the by-elections which are likely to be held in May 2021. At this election residents can count on the DA to put forward a candidate who works towards the DA vision for Johannesburg as a well-run, caring City which puts the needs of residents first.
