# Newly elected speaker of the Johannesburg council Margaret Arnolds says she wants to ensure the council is run smoothly and residents of the province have services delivered to them. The African Independent Congress councillor replaces Colleen Makhubele, who was fired as a Congress of the People councillor last week. According to the ANC/EFF/PA-led coalition government, the position of speaker is allocated to a minority bloc and it resolved the vacancy should be filled by Arnolds. She says she is ready to get to work:
