In the Special Council meeting held on 4 October, Cllr Rodney Phumlani Gumbi was elected as the new Speaker of the Ray Nkonyeni Municipality, a position which had been vacant since the then Speaker, Cllr Z Mzindle, was elected Mayor.

 Cllr Gumbi brings a wealth of experience to the office, having served Council in various roles as a member of the Executive Committee.

 We would like to wish him well in his new responsibility. We are confident that he will continue serving the community of Ray Nkonyeni Municipality with distinction and humility.
