He said he was consulting with party whips on the date.<\/p>\n<p>Makwarela is a COPE member, and his party forms a coalition partnership with the DA, ActionSA, ACDP, FF-Plus and the IFP to govern in Tshwane.<\/p>\n<p>Even though Makwarela needs clarification on when a council meeting will take place for the election of a mayor, News24 understands that the coalition partners want a meeting to be held by Friday.<\/p>\n<p>The rush to elect a mayor stems from a need to urgently pass an adjustment budget for the City.<\/p>\n<p>This needs to be finalised by the end of February because of municipal legislation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/south-africa\">South-Africa<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; South-Africa.
