Newly elected Ekurhuleni Mayor Sivuyile Ngodwana on Thursday led a swearing-in ceremony to officially welcome his new mayoral committee.
Ngodwana announced the committee comprising 10 councillors on Wednesday night.
Five are African National Congress (ANC) members and the other half are Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) councillors.
Their appointment follows the booting of the DA-led administration after former Ekurhuleni mayor Tania Campbell was removed through a no-confidence vote.
However, only half of Ngodwana’s mayoral committee members (MMCs) were sworn in on Thursday after ANC MMC did not pitch to the swearing-in ceremony.
The African Independent Congress’ Ngodwana was essentially voted to the city’s top office by EFF and ANC councillors.
Insiders told the publication that the ANC rejected the new mayoral committee, allegedly because it was not appointed to lead strategic portfolios.
Ngodowana insisted that five ANC councillors who did not pitch to be sworn in as MMCs will eventually avail themselves.
“There are other MMCs that are not here by they are still dealing with their business.”
He said that there will be a hybrid swearing-in ceremony next week even though it seems the ANC is not happy with the committee.
