She was recently appointed as the Executive Mayor of Tshwane on Wednesday, October 9, after the removal of the former Mayor Brink Cilliers, following her tenure as the City’s Deputy Mayor under Brink.
Moya’s political journey began while she was a student at the University of the Western Cape, where she earned a Bachelor degree in Social Sciences and later completed her PhD in Political Science.
