The Ekurhuleni municipality mayor Nkosindiphile Xhakaza has dismissed EFF Gauteng chairperson Nkululeko Dunga as member of the mayoral committee for Finance.

In a statement issued on Wednesday, Xhakaza said after careful consideration and in light of unforseen misalignments, he has decided to remove Dunga from his position.

“This decision is aimed at ensuring that we can effectively fast-track the completion and approval of the annual budget, a critical task for the continued developments and growth of our city.

“Furthermore, is a critical need to urgently turnaround the concerning financial position of the city.

“We appreciate MMC Dunga’s contribution and wish him well in his future endeavours,” he remarked

Xhakaza has assigned city planning and economic development MMC Nomadlozi Nkosi to oversee the finance portfolio in the interim.

Nkosi is currently the chairperson of both the governance and economic mayoral cluster and the budget steering committee.
