These are turbulent times for the coalition in Ekurhuleni The EFF has rejected the Ekurhuleni Mayor Nkosindiphile Xhakaza’s decision to reshuffle his Mayoral Committee. The EFF’s announcement followed ActionSA’s rejection of the appointment of its mayoral candidate and councillor, Xolani
Khumalo to take over Community Services and By-Law Enforcement. The EFF says Executive Mayor Nkosindiphile Xhakaza took the decision to remove and reshuffle its councillors without
consultation and says it will now assume opposition benches. ActionSA’s Herman Mashaba has also criticised Xhakaza for appointing Khumalo without consultation, saying Khumalo will not take the position.
