Tshwane Mayor Randall Williams has announced the members of his new mayoral committee following weeks of tense negotiations between political parties.
The new committee, which features members from the DA, ActionSA and the Freedom Front Plus, will be without an Environmental and Agricultural MMC until next year.
Williams says the appointment will only be made next month.
“The MMC for Environment and Agriculture will be finalised in due course, in the meantime, I have asked MMC Dikeledi Selowa to act over this portfolio.
“This position will be finalised in January after we have concluded our council meetings in the new year.”
The new committee comes three weeks after Williams was elected as the mayor in the city council following the dismal election performance by the African National Congress (ANC).
The Mayoral Committee is as follows:
MMC for Finance – Peter Sutton (DA)
MMC for Human Settlements – Abel Tau (ActionSA)
MMC for Community Safety – Grandi Theunissen (VF+)
MMC for Roads and Transport – Dikeledi Selowa (DA)
MMC for Economic Development and Spatial Planning – Andre le Roux (ActionSA)
MMC for Health – Rina Marx (VF+)
MMC for Social Development and Community Services – Peggy de Bruin (ActionSA)
MMC for Corporate and Shared Services – Kingsley Wakelin (DA)
MMC for Utility Services – Phillip Nel (DA)
Acting MMC for Environment and Agriculture Management – Dikeledi Selowa
The ten-member committee consist of five members from the Democratic Alliance (DA), three from ActionSA and two from the FF Plus.
