New Emfuleni mayor Hassan Mako’s cabinet shake-up is sparking outrage—with the DA slamming the reappointment of disgraced ex-mayor Sipho Radebe and questioning the legality of Bruce Nimmerhout’s dual role as both a Rand West councillor and MMC for Infrastructure. Nimmerhout admits his name was mistakenly included, while the IEC may have submitted the wrong candidate.
