Updated | By JacarandaFM News
DA councillor Michael Hollenstein has been elected Executive Mayor of Mogale City.
He received 39 votes, against the 38 votes for the ANC's Patrick Naga Lipudi.
Two ballots papers were cancelled.
A special council meeting was called to elect a new mayor after Lynn Pannall tendered her resignation last week due to ill health.
