Molosiwa returns as new Phikwe mayor

Three votes were spoilt. Councillor Dorcus Letlhogela was elected the deputy mayor after another candidate Kago Motsemme was disqualified from the race because his nomination paper did not meet the minimum requirements. Nobody supported him as the standing order stipulates.

Molosiwa is not new to the mayoral position. He served as the mayor from 1999 to 2007. Accepting the position, he thanked fellow councillors for showing confidence in him by according him yet another term in office. He said however that it was not an easy assignment but one that called for teamwork by all stakeholders.
