It was the first full council meeting post the local government elections on November 1.

Bunu defeated The Independents’ Ken Clark by 29 votes to take the reigns in the Komani-based municipality.

She got 45 votes against the Twizza boss’s 16.

Meanwhile, former technical services director Noluthando Nqabisa is the new council speaker.

The chief whip position is expected to be filled when the council meeting resumes tomorrow at 2pm.
