The recently appointed Mayor of Ekurhuleni Nkosindiphile Xhakaza says they are committed to stabilizing the citys finances and enhancing service delivery.
Xhakaza addressed the media in Germiston yesterday, about the newly appointed MMC of Finance and service delivery in Ekurhuleni.
The Mayor pointed out that the metro has recently received an unqualified audit opinion due to political instability and the change in mayors in the coalition government.
Xhakaza says the multi-party government will ensure that they turn the Citys finances around and achieve a clean audit again.
"This journey, though filled with challenges, has been marked by significant strides towards restoring service delivery and rebuilding public trust in our local government. When I assumed office, our City was at a critical juncture. We have also focused on strengthening our Citys financial stability and shifted our focus towards revenue enhancement. Through better management and increased capital spending, we are on a path to sustainable financial health. This is important for supporting our ongoing and future development projects," says Xhakaza.
