The EFF will nominate Musa Novela for the position of Executive Mayor of Johannesburg on November 28th, 2019. Novela has been the EFF leader in Johannesburg since 2013 and a city councillor since 2016. Under his leadership, the EFF helped achieve victories like insourcing workers and improving clinics and services in poorer areas. Despite not holding an official position, Novela has proven to be a capable public representative and leader. The EFF collective leadership is confident in Novela's capacity and commitment to lead Johannesburg towards jobs and service delivery by uniting all political parties behind a common agenda.
