Reshuffle of mayoral committee
Ekurhuleni mayor Mondli Gungubele announced the reshuffling of his mayoral committee this morning following yesterday's State of the City Address.
“Yesterday we delivered 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.
“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,” Gungubele explained.
He commented that while happy with the progress made thus far, he believes that with some reconfiguration the mayoral committee can do more.
After extensive consultations within the ruling party, the ANC, we have taken a collective decision to reconfigure the Mayoral Committee, the mayor elaborated.
The new mayoral committee is as follows:
- Finance – Cllr Moses Makwakwa
- Health – Cllr Makhosazana Mabaso
- Water and Energy – Cllr Doctor Xhakaza
- Community Safety – Cllr Vivian Chauke
- City Planning and Economic Development – Cllr Thumbu Mahlangu
- Human Settlement – Cllr Aubrey Nxumalo
- Corporate and Shared Services – Cllr Queen Duba
- Roads and Transport – Cllr Petros Muhlari
- Environment – Cllr Ndosi Shongwe
- Sports, Heritage, Recreation, Arts and Culture – Cllr Dorah Mlambo.
Councilllors who have been re-deployed by the ANC to other structures in council are Mthuthuzeli Siboza (Community Safety), Zeni Tshongweni (Sport), Tilly Mabena (Environment), Phelisa Nkunjana (Corporate and Shared Services) and Bennet Nikani (Economic Development)
“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 concluded.
