The newly appointed Mayoral Committee clearly represents a compromise between the ANC and EFF, with the EFF securing five MMC positions despite their dismal performance in government under the leadership of the then puppet mayor, Ngodwana.
The appointment of Cllr Dunga of the EFF as MMC for Finance, who has, for over a year, plunged the City into a financial crisis, rendering the City unable to pay service providers, collapsing service delivery in the process.
We further note that the ANC in Ekurhuleni has decided to appoint EFF MMCs as a consequence of Panyaza Lesufi’s desperate quest to cling on to power following the May 29 elections, as the ANC looks set to lose its majority, thereby counting on the EFF to keep him as Premier.
Ekurhuleni Mayoral Committee Puts Residents Last
ActionSA notes the announcement of the newly appointed Mayoral Committee by the newly elected Mayor, Cllr. Doctor Xakaza.
The newly appointed Mayoral Committee clearly represents a compromise between the ANC and EFF, with the EFF securing five MMC positions despite their dismal performance in government under the leadership of the then puppet mayor, Ngodwana.

These developments make it evident that a vote for the ANC is indeed a vote for the EFF, even at the expense of service delivery for residents.
ActionSA will continue to be an effective and constructive opposition in Council and hold this ANC-EFF led administration accountable.
