Sivuyile Ngodwana is a South African politician who served as the mayor of Ekurhuleni from 30 March 2023 until 28 March 2024. He is a member of the African Independent Congress, a party that holds three seats in the Ekurhuleni city council.
After the Democratic Alliance's Tania Campbell was removed as mayor of Ekurhuleni in a motion of no confidence on 30 March 2023, a subsequent mayoral election was held to elect her successor hours later. Ngodwana stood in the mayoral election against Campbell and defeated her, receiving 129 votes to Campbell's 75 votes.[1] Ngodwana's election as mayor was part of the African National Congress and Economic Freedom Fighters' calculated takeover of Gauteng metros with the help of the Patriotic Alliance and other parties where a councillor from a small party is elected as mayor or council speaker then the ANC/EFF/PA/minority bloc is given seats in the municipality's mayoral committee. The neighbouring City of Johannesburg Metropolitan Municipality is also governed this way.[2] [3]
In his inaugural address as mayor, Ngodwana said that he would prioritise service delivery issues in the metro, such as eliminating rolling blackouts, fixing potholes and cutting grass.[4] [5]
Ngodwana was voted out in a motion of no confidence on 28 March 2024 which saw 47 councillors voting for his removal with 32 voting against.[6]
