Dr Tlaleng Mofokeng

Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF)
Mayoral candidate (EFF) · Johannesburg, South Africa · 2026
PurposeCandidate for Johannesburg mayor in South Africa's November 4, 2026 local government elections.

Health
Tlaleng Mofokeng has proposed expanding access to 24-hour clinics and maternal and obstetric units across Johannesburg, introducing a digital patient-management system that would let residents access care records across different facilities, and improving healthcare accessibility for people with disabilities and language barriers, framing comprehensive primary healthcare as a core city priority.

Economy
Mofokeng has pledged to insource municipal workers currently employed through outsourced contracts, providing them permanent positions with medical aid and leave benefits, and to direct city supply-chain spending toward black-owned, women-led, LGBTQ-led, and disability-led businesses. She has also proposed writing off historical municipal debt owed by indigent households, introducing progressive tariffs based on income, and providing free basic services to unemployed residents and SASSA beneficiaries, asking "why do we lose so much to profit-making entities?"

Infrastructure
She has called for a large-scale, city-wide infrastructure maintenance program, mobilizing partnerships and additional resources to address Johannesburg's water and electricity backlog.

Governance
Mofokeng has said she would seek an outright 51% majority to avoid dependence on unstable coalition arrangements, pledging to eliminate corruption and to shift the municipality's relationship with residents away from a punitive, enforcement-first posture toward regular consultation, declaring: "I solemnly swear to serve my community 24 hours a day."
