In Conversation With Nkululeko Dunga, EFF Provincial Chairperson

The Economic Freedom Fighters Gauteng has noted the official handover between former MEC for Finance, Lebohang Maile, and the newly appointed MEC, Dunga Nkululeko, at the Gauteng Provincial Treasury. The party describes the transition as a watershed moment that reflects institutional maturity and a commitment to a smooth, responsible transfer of leadership. The EFF has expressed appreciation to the outgoing MEC for facilitating a seamless and dignified handover process, which it views as essential for maintaining stability within the department. According to the EFF, the introduction of the new MEC to senior management is a critical step in ensuring continuity, accountability, and effective governance in the management of public finances. The handover process included engagements on finalising comprehensive briefings and identifying immediate priority areas requiring urgent attention. This is particularly significant given the fiscal pressures and service delivery challenges currently facing Gauteng. The EFF has emphasised the need for the new MEC to exercise decisive political leadership, strengthen oversight mechanisms, and ensure that resources are allocated efficiently to improve the living conditions of residents. The party maintains that the Treasury must play a central role in advancing a developmental agenda, opposing austerity measures, and ensuring that budgeting processes are responsive to the needs of the working class and the poor. Furthermore, the EFF has reaffirmed its commitment to ongoing oversight, stating that it will continue to monitor the work of the Gauteng Provincial Treasury to ensure that it operates with integrity, transparency, and urgency, and in coordination with other government departments to effectively serve the people of Gauteng.
