Members who were reshuffled are Mthuthuzeli Siboza (community safety), Zeni Tshongweni (sport), Tilly Mabena (environment), Phelisa Nkunjana (corporate and shared services) and Bennet Nikani (economic development).
Gungubele said these councillors have been re-deployed by the ANC to other structures in council.
The reshuffling follows the State of the City Address.
“One of the key elements of this address, was accelerating service delivery towards the end of the term for the current term of local government office in 2016,” Gungubele said.
“We gave a full report of how we have done since we took office in May 2011, however, in an effort to optimise service delivery, we must continuously assess our performance so that the necessary interventions can be made.
“Every healthy organisation must reflect on its performance on a regular basis to determine if the machinery remains relevant to the course.”
He said that while they are happy with the progress made thus far, they believe that with some reconfiguration they can do more.
“After extensive consultations within the ruling party, the ANC, we have taken a collective decision to reconfigure the mayoral committee.
“I would like to take this opportunity to thank the colleagues who have served us with aplomb in the past years, and wish the new team luck in discharging their duties,” Gungubele said.

Finance – Clr Moses Makwakwa
