This, after more than a month of uncertainty following a decision by the Active United Front (AUF) to terminate its coalition with the ANC in Bitou on the heels of a series of issues between the two parties.
The AUF has in the meantime forged a new coalition with the DA based on a “pro-poor” approach to governing Bitou.
This coalition became official during the meeting held at the local council chambers on Tuesday where Bitou mayor Peter Lobese announced his new mayoral committee.
During the meeting ANC deputy mayor Euan Wildeman was replaced by DA councillor Jessica Kamkam and ANC speaker Phakie Mbali made way for DA councillor and former speaker Annelise Olivier.
New mayoral committee members Nomphumelelo Ndayi and Bill Nel – both from the DA – were elected replacing the ANC’s Sandiso Gcabayi and Monica Seyise.
