The Executive Mayor of the City of Johannesburg, Kabelo Gwamanda, is receiving medical attention after taking ill during the debate on the State of the City Address.
In a statement, Gwamanda’s office said he had been unwell since Tuesday, “however given the significance and importance of the day to Council and residents of the City, he unfortunately went against medical advice and attended to the State of the City Address as delivered”.
“He was seen by his medical team immediately after the address yesterday. Sadly, during today’s debate, his condition deteriorated and the advice of the medical team has been that he be excused immediately and presents himself to a medical facility for urgent treatment and observation.”
