Three of the five, Clr Tracey Lourenco, Clr Pieter Henning and Clr Jaco Terblanche are Kempton Park councillors.
This honorary title is bestowed on councillors and is in line with the city’s Conferment of Civic Honours Policy.
To receive Aldermanship councillors need to meet certain criteria including over the course of several years served on one or more local government bodies within the Republic of South Africa.
The honorary title is conferred once a year, as and when councillors reach the required milestone and they will retain the title even after they leave public office.
