THE DA ward councillor for ward 91, Alderman Johann Jordaan, announced his resignation as DA councillor on social media on Thursday afternoon.
“It is with regret that I am informing you that I have submitted my notice of resignation as a councillor of the Ekurhuleni legislature.
“My decision is motivated by increasing work and business responsibilities demanding more of my time, resulting with less time available to serve the ward to the best of my abilities as I have and would like to do,” Jordaan wrote.
“Thank you for the support and all the friendships made in the community over the past 25 years. I had the opportunity and privilege of serving the community in various different structures; the past eight years as a ward councillor in Ekurhuleni.”
A by-election will be held on a date still to be determined by the IEC.
Ward 91 includes Norkem Park, Birchleigh North, Esselen Park Extension One and Witfontein.
