DA ushers in new council (10/06/11)

The DA held its election of Office bearers for the KwaDukuza Council recently. Cllr Madhun Sing was elected as caucus leader. The caucus leader is the party’s chief spokesperson on all major political issues within the municipality.
The caucus leader, will amongst other things, provide political leadership and direction to the caucus and fellow member councillors.
Cllr Ann McDonnell (Ward 22) was elected as Chief Whip. The chief whip will be responsible for discipline in the caucus, monitoring the conduct of DA councillors and also represent the caucus on the whips forum and relevant council structures.
Cllr Ajay Sahadew was elected as chair and will be responsible for building working relations with other opposition parties in council. Sing said he was grateful to members who elected him.
“I will at all times hold the ruling party accountable for its actions on council, and the same time provide alternative solutions to council and act in the best interest of taxpayers to add value for money,” said a confident and decisive Sing.
