mayor

The mayor and City Council in Tucson, home of the University of Arizona, formally opposed the compact, calling it an “unacceptable act of federal interference.”

When the council members took no action on Southers earlier this month after his re-nomination by the mayor, a seat on the commission remained his by default.

That saw the rise of Rajoelina, a former DJ and then the mayor of Antananarivo, who seized power in the aftermath.

He suggested the law could be invoked “if people were being killed and courts were holding us up or governors or mayors were holding us up.”

The City of Bulawayo, led by mayor David Coltart, said Mr Moyo would be remembered as an "iconic leader ... and creative" who "strove to champion the arts" in the city and beyond.
