The portfolio head of corporate and shared services at the Vhembe District Municipality, Cllr Lucas Manyuha, has been appointed as the acting executive mayor of the municipality.

This follows the appointment of the former executive mayor, Ms Florence Dzhombere, as the MEC for Safety, Security and Liaison.

Manyuha had led the predominantly rural Mutale Municipality for two consecutive terms as the mayor.

The media liaison officer of the Vhembe District Municipality, Mr Moses Shibambu, said  that Manyuha would be acting in the position until such time that the post was filled. There are, however, rumors that Ms Livhuwani Mabidzha could be the next mayor of Vhembe.
