Gauteng's new look Executive Council
Gauteng Premier, David Makhura, has announced his new
Executive Council on Wednesday morning.
Makhura believes his Council is an illustration of the African National Congress (ANC) experience in government.
"New energy and fresh ideas required to fulfil the mandate of the 6th Administration, of Growing Gauteng Together," said Makhura.
Makhura added the new Members of the Executive Councillors (MECs) would put the interests of the people first.
"And meet the highest ethical and service delivery standards in the conduct of their work."
Former MEC of Education in the province, Panyaza Lesufi, will take over from Barbara Creecy who was last week sworn in as a Member of Parliament.
Lesufi will head Finance and e-Government.
The embattled health department has a new leader - Bandile Masuku replaces Gwen Ramokgopa.
The ANC's Provincial spokesperson, Tasneem Motara, will head Infrastructure Development and Property Management.
Former Tshwane Mayor Kgosientso Ramokgopa is making a comeback - as the MEC for Economic Development, Agriculture and Environment.
Faith Mazibuko is the new MEC for Community Safety.
