The Executive Mayor of the City of Johannesburg, Councilor Geoffrey Makhubo, has appointed Councilor (Cllr.) Lawrence Khoza, as the new Member of the Mayoral Committee (MMC) responsible for Economic Development.
This appointment follows the recent resignation of Cllr. Lloyd Phillips who previously headed the portfolio as MMC.
The Executive Mayor is further pleased to announce that Cllr. Thapelo Ahmad is appointed as the MMC for Development Planning, replacing Cllr. Khoza, who served in the position prior today’s announcement.
“We welcome Cllr. Ahmad to the Mayoral Committee and look forward to his service to the residents of Johannesburg.”
“The role of development planning is critical to the sustainable future of our City and the vision outlined in our Growth and Development Strategy 2040 vision. It becomes more critical in the post-COVID recovery phase of our economy and City” said Mayor Makhubo.
The Executive Mayor is confident that Councilors Khoza and Ahmad will serve the residents of the city with commitment, diligence, honesty and integrity.
“It is in the interests of the City and the Government of Local Unity (GLU) to lead a stable, accountable and transparent government” added Mayor Makhubo.
Cllr. Ahmad will be sworn-in as a Member of the Mayoral Committee tomorrow, 17 November 2020.
