36th Ordinary Council Meeting

Council elected MMC Loyiso Masuku as Deputy Executive Mayor; she was the only candidate, and the DA announced it would not take part in the election. The 2025/26 operating adjustment budget and related Items 18 to 21 were deferred to a special sitting after FF+ and DA objections that they were loaded overnight, and a legal opinion. The upper limits of councillors' salaries and allowances for 2025/26 were approved by show of hands, 98 for, 85 against and 30 abstaining, after the EFF rejected the report.
