MAYORAL COMMITTEE: TWO WARD COUNCILLORS FOR BRACKFELL INCLUDED
Plato announces Mayco DESIRÉE RORKE @dezzierorke
T
wo ward councillors for Brackenfell will serve on re-elected mayor Dan Plato’s new Mayoral Committee (Mayco), as announced on Sunday. Brackenfell ward 8 councillor, Marian Nieuwoudt, who also served on Plato’s previous Mayco, was appointed as the new Mayco member for finance. She will stay on as ward 8 councillor in
Brackenfell, but will be assisted in the ward by proportional councillor Annelise van Zyl. Brackenfell ward 7 councillor Grant Twigg, who is also the DA Metro chairperson and chairperson for subcouncil 2, was appointed as the new Mayco member for Area North, which will render him a so-called mini-mayor for the northern district of the city. Both Nieuwoudt and Twigg are seasoned politicians and outspoken critics of former mayor Patricia de Lille. Nieuwoudt believes the new committee to be an effective
The best
and experienced team, with young blood bringing new ideas and initiatives. “The mayor is clearly taking the lead with goaloriented expectations being spelled out. We are united in our pursuit to better service delivery,” she told TygerBurger on Monday. “Going ahead it will be our focus to see how we can improve on service delivery in our various communities, even if this means thinking out of the box,” Twigg added. James Vos, a previous ward councillor in Edgemead and Bothasig and most recently
the DA shadow minister for tourism in the Western Cape, was appointed as the new Mayco member for assets and facilities. He also served on Helen Zille’s Mayco. Vos says this appointment comes at a time of increasing public awareness of the political affairs of the City of Cape Town. “It is an opportunity to build the City’s reputation as a well-managed city where residents feel the DA is making a difference,” he told TygerBurger.
