Twitter rejects new Joburg Mayor Jolidee Matongo #WeRejectMayorOfJHB

Zimbabwean man elected Johannesburg Mayor Jolidee Matongo was elected after receiving more than 260 council votes on Tuesday and remained uncontested, a rare occurrence in the city.

Jolidee Matongo, a son of a Zimbabwean who migrated to South Africa several years ago has been named the new Johannesburg executive mayor after a special meeting to fill the post left vacant by Geoff Makhubo, who succumbed to COVID-19 complications.

Soon the city will be forced to make budget allocation for Zimbabwean illegal immigrants. This appointment is very wrong in so many ways. #WeRejectMayorOfJHB

Atul Gupta from India was president of SA for nine wasted years.
Yet no one questioned his nationality.
