I hoped it was not.
After a dismal performance by Gwen Tshwane could have done with someone great.

I will take a mayor with a civil engineering degree and management experience any day. At least this dude should have an appreciation of town and regional planning which is important for service delivery and infrastructure management.

Makes me sick. All those squatters will suffer for longer. The electricity fiasco will just carry on. The Metro Police is a scam. And seems to be the department of housing has been raping bussinesses for years now.. IT will just carry on.And Gwen? She will have all that NHI money to party with and spend at heart’s content. And probably getting a nice back hand from her family for the gift of a cushy job. As if he will point out her failures..

Sort of like the SAA pilots that paid for their licenses ?
I'm assuming he got his degree in a legit manner.
Of course if he didn't get it in a legit way then he is a plank.
Typical marine1. In his world blacks can't have legit qualifications nevermind being black and rich.

Good qualifications.
I do think he is too young for the position he holds, though.
Apart from knowledge (not sure if he has that, because his qualifications are not in the area of law or such), one would need a degree from the "university of life" for such a position. He will find himself in many situations where he needs to rely on life experience, make judgment calls based on experience, etc and at 35, he may just be too young.
I will give him a chance to prove me wrong, though

Call me when Tshwane is voted best run metro in the country. Until then I am unimpressed.
Good qualifications, finally someone who has the right credentials.
Wishing him all of the best!
This actually looks like a good appointment (except the aunt-nephew relationship makes me uneasy too), and his first action was to make a report on irregularities in the metro public, which his aunt wouldn't do because it apparently made her look bad.
Good attitude and track record/credentials so far. Did expect that this thread would just be moaning about nepotism though.
