The sudden resignation of Ekurhuleni's finance committee member Jongizizwe Dlabathi has left the municipality's R51-billion budget in limbo, just weeks before it was due to be tabled. The move follows Mayor Nkosindiphile Xhakaza's recent reshuffle that reduced the EFF's positions and prompted their withdrawal from the coalition.
