Get to know Nkosindiphile Xhakaza, the newly elected mayor of Ekurhuleni, and the challenges he faces in leading the troubled metro.

Nkosindiphile Xhakaza has been elected as the new mayor of Ekurhuleni, stepping into a challenging role in a troubled metro. The full council of the Ekurhuleni Metro unanimously appointed Nkosindiphile Doctor Xhakaza, an ANC councillor, to take the reins and tackle the city's pressing issues. Xhakaza's appointment comes after a period of political shifts in the city, with various parties supporting different candidates in the past year.

Facing a mix of collapsed service delivery and financial mismanagement, Mayor Xhakaza is tasked with addressing the issues plaguing Ekurhuleni. His leadership will be crucial in stabilizing the metro and restoring efficient governance. Despite initial talks of coalitions and opposition, Xhakaza's unopposed election signifies a unified decision by the council to entrust him with the city's future.

In the aftermath of the recent local government elections, the ANC has focused on reclaiming control of key metropolitan areas, including Johannesburg, Tshwane, and now Ekurhuleni. Xhakaza's election reflects the party's efforts to strengthen its presence in Gauteng and implement effective leadership within the municipalities.

As Nkosindiphile Xhakaza assumes his mayoral duties, there is a sense of anticipation and scrutiny surrounding his tenure. The challenges ahead are substantial, but his commitment to addressing service delivery failures and financial concerns is a promising start for Ekurhuleni's future.
