Thapelo Amad and Margaret Arnolds may emerge as possible candidates for the Joburg Speaker position.

The former mayor of Joburg, Thapelo Amad, and AIC councillor Margaret Arnolds may emerge as possible candidates for the Joburg Speaker position when minority parties, who form part of a coalition with the ANC and the EFF, meet for a caucus on Thursday.
