Office of the Executive Mayor
Moving Forward for a Better Future
Working for you for a better tomorrow!
Most local councils in the country have an executive mayor. The executive mayor is elected by the full council. He or she may appoint a mayoral committee that will assist in making decisions, proposals and plans that have to be approved by council. The mayoral committee may not consist of more than 10 people or more than 20% of the sitting councillors. The council may delegate any executive powers to the executive mayor. An executive mayor is almost like the president at local level and a mayoral committee is almost like the cabinet. When a municipality has an executive mayor they should still elect a Speaker to act as the chairperson of council meetings. The Executive Mayor's office consists of the Mayor and three Municipal Mayoral Committees.
