Mayor Mphethi is no stranger to the affairs of Council and brings with her extensive experience accumulated over two decades in local government. She has served as a councillor since 2006 and has, over the years, been entrusted with various leadership responsibilities within the Municipality.
Her leadership journey has seen her serve as Chairperson of the Municipal Public Accounts Committee [MPAC], Member of the Mayoral Committee responsible for Infrastructure Development and Technical Services, and Chief Whip of Council, before her election as Mayor.
Her election places at the helm of the Municipality a councillor with extensive institutional knowledge and experience across both the oversight and executive structures of Council.
