SALGA wishes to convey its heartfelt condolences to the Moerane family and loved ones

Posted: 19 May 2022

It is with the deepest sorrow that the local government fraternity loses another capable leader in the passing of the former Executive Mayor of the City of Johannesburg, Cllr. Mpho Moerane.

The sector has lost an astute local government representative with solid knowledge of good governance and financial management who always ensured that the sector strives to perform in a manner that responds to the mandate and the needs of the people. In him, South Africa lost an action and solution-oriented leader who was known for always bringing different parties and stakeholders on board whenever difficult times arose.

After vacating his seat as Executive Mayor of Johannesburg following the 2021 Local Government Elections, Moerane embraced his new deployment as the Head of the Working Group that deals with issues of energy within the Joburg Council. Sadly, he departed following a car crash that put him into a coma for about a week.

SALGA wishes to convey its condolences to the Moerane family. On behalf of the Local Government, we pledge our solidarity and convey our heartfelt condolences to the Moerane family and loved ones. We lower our banner to honour his life which he dedicated to the service of the people as a leader. Our prayers are with the family.
