Mayor Koketso Calvin Seerane

THE Executive Mayor, assisted by the 10-person mayoral committee, has overarching strategic and political responsibility for Mogale City.

The Executive Mayor also represents Mogale City at ceremonial functions.

The Executive Mayor receives reports from the different portfolio committees and presents these reports, along with a recommendation, to the Council. Each member of the mayoral committee has responsibility for a particular portfolio.

It is the role of the Executive Mayor to identify the needs of the municipality, prioritise these needs, and recommend strategies, programmes and services to address these needs. These also have to take into consideration any national and provincial developmental plans. These are all outlined in the Mogale City Integrated Development Plan. Along with these plans are estimates of revenue and expenditure.

The Executive Mayor, and the mayoral committee, also recommends the best way to deliver on the plans, putting in place key performance indicators.

Attention must also be given to the views of the residents, with proper consultation taking place and being incorporated in the decision-making process.
