23 Jul 2024 in Press Statements

Over the last year the Democratic Alliance (DA) in Johannesburg has been strategic in holding the Administration of the City of Johannesburg (CoJ) accountable on issues that affect residents.

In a City close to collapse, it is now more important than ever to have a team that will go the extra mile. I am therefore pleased to introduce Joburg residents to our dedicated team of fit for purpose individuals ready to hit the ground running and hold the ANC/EFF/PA/Al Jama-ah coalition accountable.

After much consideration I have made the following appointments of fit for purpose individuals to serve in the new term:

  • SMMC of Finance – Cllr Chris Santana
  • SMMC of EISD – Cllr Nicole Van Dyk
  • SMMC of Development Planning – Cllr Daniel Schay
  • SMMC Economic Development – Bongani Nkomo
  • SMMC Transport – Cllr Tyrell Meyers
  • SMMC Public Safety -Cllr Solomon Maila
  • SMMC of GCSS – David Foley
  • SMMC Community Development- Lyrics Mazibuko
  • SMMC Health & Social Development – Cllr Beverley Weweje
  • SMMC Human Settlements- Cllr Strike Rambani

Committee Spokespersons

  • Rules – Alex Christians
  • Ethics – Gert Niemand
  • MPAC – Ingrid Reinten
  • Governance – Kevin Wax
  • OCOL – Tim Truluck
  • Petitions – Lerato Mpefo
  • GEYODI- Eleanore Hugget

Each Member will sign a performance agreement which will be assessed every six months, where there are challenges, adjustments will be made accordingly.

I wish them all the best and look forward to work with them as we hold the Administration accountable.

I would like to thank all Shadow Government members who served in the previous term, thank you for your dedication.
