Brink's removal came after Dada Morero was elected mayor of Johannesburg in an arrangement which saw ActionSA team up with the ANC for the first time since the Herman Mashaba-led party entered the political scene in 2021.
Moya was elected Tshwane's first deputy mayor more than a year ago, a post created to stabilise the collapsed coalition between ActionSA and the DA.
Moya was recently serving as the city's acting mayor after Brink's removal.
This is a developing story.

ActionSA's Dr Nasiphi Moya has been elected the new City of Tshwane mayor after a landslide victory against the DA's Cilliers Brink.
Moya received 122 votes against former mayor Brink's 86 votes.
A total of 208 councillors voted in the watershed council election which could affect the government of national unity (GNU) arrangement.
Brink was removed as mayor last month in a vote of no confidence tabled by the ANC, the DA's ally in the GNU.
