Ekurhuleni Mayor Nkosindiphile Xhakaza announced changes to his committee on 18 February 2026.

ActionSA councillor Xolani Khumalo was appointed as a Member of the Mayoral Committee (MMC). The Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) issued a strongly worded statement rejecting the reshuffle.

ActionSA’s national chairperson, Michael Beaumont, clarified that the party did not support Khumalo’s appointment. The reshuffle was widely criticized by opposition parties, who viewed it as a failed attempt at restructuring governance in Ekurhuleni.
