While Maria Kavalela as former ordinary member of council has now replaced Petrus. Johannes Shitundeni also remains the MC additional member.
In her acceptance speech, Angula pointed out that her target for the year 2020, among others, is to ensure that the council avails land for sport
facilities around town.
“Although we can only do so successfully with the assistance of our stakeholders, my request is for all of us to work together as a team in
the best interest of this town and not for ourselves,” Angula stated.

swearing-in ceremony.
