Delivering his inaugural speech at the Feather Market Hall today, the DA’s Trollip told the crowd the municipality had been spending unnecessary funds on glamorous events with flashy cars.
He said the administration would also scrutinise any irregular appointments.
Trollip also undertook to fast track all forensic investigations.
He took his mayoral seat amid cheers and ululations from the crowd.
There was, however, also jeering and booing seemingly from ANC members and supporters at the Feather Market Hall where the inauguration ceremony took place.
