MPAC Chairperson
Cllr. N Nhlapo
The Municipal Public Accounts Committee is chaired by Cllr Noliqwa Nhlapo as elected during the Inaugural Council held in November 2021.
The chairperson is not a member of the Mayoral Committee but a full time office bearer. The chairperson of the MPAC is an experienced councillor due to the important role to be played by the MPAC in the council.
The main purpose of the MPAC is to exercise oversight over the executive functionaries of council and to ensure good governance in the municipality. This will include oversight over municipal entities. In order for the MPAC to fulfil this oversight role, it needs to be provided with the necessary information and documentation to interrogate the actions of the executive.
The chairperson of the MPAC liaises directly with the speaker on the inclusion of its report in the council agenda, and the committee staff ensures that the documentation is physically included in the agenda of the council meeting.
