New Joburg mayor Matongo announces list of new MMCs

Following the uncontested appointment of Jolidee Matongo as City of Johannesburg’s new executive mayor, his first order of business has been confirming his 10 members of the mayoral committee (MMCs). 

Although most names remained largely unchanged, due to Matongo being the city’s former finance MMC, his committee had to get a new representative.
