The Democratic Alliance (DA) is pleased to announce the election of Cllr Hullet Hild as the Executive Mayor of the West Rand District. Cllr Hild was elected Mayor during a Council meeting that was held yesterday.
Cllr Gerhard Kruger was elected Speaker and Cllr Alme Swart was elected as the Chief Whip.
Please find the attached pictures from the Council Meeting here, here, here and here.
The DA won these positions through the support of other opposition parties.
The DA has full confidence in the newly elected team, and although the task ahead of them will be tough, we believe they are more than capable of turning things around and will get things done in the West Rand.
The DA will in the coming days and weeks announce its plans on how we intend to get things done and restore good governance in the district.
