Twitter rejects new Joburg Mayor Jolidee Matongo #WeRejectMayorOfJHB
Zimbabwean man elected Johannesburg Mayor Jolidee Matongo was elected after receiving more than 260 council votes on Tuesday and remained uncontested, a rare occurrence in the city.
Jolidee Matongo, a son of a Zimbabwean who migrated to South Africa several years ago has been named the new Johannesburg executive mayor after a special meeting to fill the post left vacant by Geoff Makhubo, who succumbed to COVID-19 complications.

Soon the city will be forced to make budget allocation for Zimbabwean illegal immigrants. This appointment is very wrong in so many ways. #WeRejectMayorOfJHB

When Mashaba raided hijacked buildings in Joburg & demanded home affairs to deport illegal immigrants, Matongo stood with his Zimbabweans & accused Mashaba of xenophobia. Matongo worked with Africa Diaspora forum to open a case of xenophobia against Mashaba.#WeRejectMayorOfJHB

Why is it labelled Xenophobia only when it’s South Africans who want to be selfish for South Africa? #PutSouthAficansFirst #WeRejectMayorOfJHB pic.twitter.com/76HlTUYj0P

Xenophobes are actually stupid. You want to reject a man with a South African mother but say nothing about white people and Indians who are more foreign.
You guys are stupid. No wonder you’re unemployed.
