NEW Johannesburg mayor Thapelo Amad yesterday announced eight members of his mayoral committee after being sworn in on Monday.

According to a City statement, the new MMCs were selected after extensive consultations with other political parties with the aim of solidifying the government of local unity partnership.

The executive mayor said he intends to appoint two more individuals to his mayoral committee tomorrow, once they have been sworn in as councillors, in order to draw from the pool of skills that exist outside of council.

“The new mayoral committee is tasked with ensuring the acceleration of service delivery.” Amad urged the new senior management team to work with the government in a cohesive and integrated manner. “We further urge senior management to instil professionalism and increase productivity that is performance-driven,” said Amad.

Below is the list of councillors appointed as MMCs:

• Finance: Dada Morero

• Public Safety: Sepetlele Raseruthe

• Development Planning: Eunice Mgcina
