Cape Town's new MayCo - Dan Plato

Ian Neilson remains Deputy Mayor, Felicity Purchase heads Transport and Urban Development Authority

New Mayoral Committee committed to serving the people of Cape Town

It is with great pleasure that I announce today a new, united, diverse, and energised Mayoral Committee (Mayco)to serve and take the City of Cape Town and its residents forward.

The members I have chosen to serve on this committee have demonstrated their ability to carry out their duties with excellence, their commitment to work together as a united council, and their passion to serve the people of this city.

The residents of and the visitors to the City of Cape Town deserve a well-run, corruption free, and focused city administration that is geared towards providing effective and efficient service delivery for all.

The new Mayoral Committee is as follows:

Deputy Mayor – Ian Neilson
Assets and Facilities – James Vos
Corporate Services – Sharon Cottle
Finance – Marian Nieuwoudt
Informal Settlements, Water & Waste Services, Energy – Xanthea Limberg
Social Services, Safety & Security – J P Smith
Transport and Urban Development Authority – Felicity Purchase
Area East – Phindile Maxiti
Area South – Zahid Badroodien
Area Central – Malusi Booi
Area North – Grant Twigg

The Organisational Development and Transformation Plan will be reviewed and is likely to result in a different structure which will be taken to the next council meeting for ratification.

I would like to thank the former Mayco members for their service, and trust that they will continue to support this administration with the same energy and dedication that they have shown before.

I would also like to wish the new Mayco well and am looking forward to working with them in addressing the challenges that lie ahead, and in ensuring that we deliver the most effective and efficient service delivery for all.
