Buffalo City Metro councillor Graham Lottering has been ousted as member of the mayoral committee for sport, recreation and community development.
On Friday evening, the metro announced that mayor Princess Faku had appointed Mninawa Nyusile to replace Lottering with immediate effect.
Having previously served as a member of the Eastern Cape legislature and held leadership positions in the trade union movement, Nyusile is expected to bring a wealth of experience to his new role.
