Former City of Joburg executive mayor Mpho Moerane was this morning involved in an accident and is fighting for his life in hospital.
Africa News Global understands that Moerane is currently receiving medical attention in the ICU at an unidentified hospital in Johannesburg.
Moerane was elected City of Joburg executive mayor in October last year and was the ANC’s mayoral candidate in last year’s local government elections.
Moerane was also contesting the position of ANC Joburg regional chairperson in the party’s forthcoming regional conference.
The former MMC for infrastructure was nominated as the ANC’s preferred candidate to replace former mayor Jolidee Matongo who died in a car accident in September last year.
Matongo was elected just over a month earlier following the passing of Geoff Makhubo from COVID-19 complications. This is a developing story.
