Joburg Mayor Jolidee Matongo Appoints New Executive, Retains Majority Of Geoff Makhubo’s MMCs

THE newly-elected City of Johannesburg mayor Jolidee Matongo on Wednesday announced his 10-member mayoral committee.

Matongo, an ANC councillor and the former MMC of Finance in the metro, replaces Geoff Makhubo, who had been in office since the end of 2019 but died of COVID-19 complications last month.

The new list of MMCs, which was a result of consultations with the ongoing Government of Local Unity (GLU) partnership in the City, contains no surprises as most members remain unchanged in the portfolios they were assigned by Makhubo.

“The choice of MMCs is in support of the theme of continuation with the implementation of the GLU’s priorities, which are aligned to the Joburg Growth and Development Strategy (GDS) 2040,” said the city in a statement.
