JABU SHIBA IS NEW MANZINI MAYOR

MANZINI – Manzini has a mayoress! Jabu Shiba, who was a deputy mayor of the city in the previous term, was voted to the position yesterday night during the Municipal Council of Manzini’s inaugural meeting which was held at council chambers.
For this position, there were only two nominees and they were former Mayor Mxolisi ‘Waxola’ Mabuza and the incumbent officer.

Balloting

After the balloting process, Councillor Shiba became victorious as she obtained seven votes while Councillor Mabuza managed to get four votes.
On the other hand, Councillor Mduduzi Vilane became the new deputy mayor as he was the only one who was nominated for the position. He is taking a position which was occupied by Bishop Nash Shongwe’s son Bongani.

Again, for the position of the Finance Committee Chairperson, Councillor Wesley Dlamini scooped the post uncontested and he is taking over from Councillor Jabu Shiba, who is now the mayor of the city.
Furthermore, Councillor Khetho Dlamini became Finance Committee Vice Chairman after he was also uncontested.

Meanwhile, Councillors Siboniso Nkabinde and Sandile Bhembe were elected as members of the Finance Committee. This was after they obtained eight and seven votes, respectively.
It is worth noting that there were 11 councillors who participated in the voting process instead of 12 councillors. This follows the demise of Councillor Sipho Masuku, who died in a nasty car accident which took place near Dvokolwako on the night of Easter Monday.
