The Alderman list, as approved by council, was announced at the metro\u2019s first sitting of council for the year on Thursday at the Germiston council chambers.<\/p>\n

Alderman is a title granted by council through its Conferment of Civic Honours policy.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

A policy which outlines a precise qualifying criterion and has an accumulative point system put in place to deduce the best candidates.<\/p>\n

Having an unbroken record of serving as an Ekurhuleni councillor is one of the requirements to qualify for consideration.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

\u201cRecognising and honouring those consistently entrusted to lead their communities is a significant aspect of nation-building.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is a reflection founded on the principles of \u2018Batho Pele – Putting people first\u2019, which council champions as its core value system through the metro,\u201d said Sphelele Nxele, spokesperson of the office of the speaker.<\/p>\n

The concept of Alderman not only exists at local government but it is internationally recognised as well.<\/p>\n

Council also acknowledged and congratulated members of the Ekurhuleni Junior City Council<\/p>\n

(JCC) who performed outstandingly in their matric exams.<\/p>\n

Alderman Patricia Khumalo, speaker of council, who together with the office champions the JCC of the metro, congratulated the JCC members on their matric results.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a great honour to have been a part of grooming these young people.<\/p>\n

\u201cFulfilling their JCC duties while staying focused at school and achieving superb results is indeed an excellent achievement.<\/p>\n

\u201cThank you for shaping a complex model for future junior councillors.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs you pursue your chosen careers, your journey gains momentum. I urge you to continue to strive for excellence,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
