# The South African Municipal Workers Union in Mpumalanga says the election of Cornelia Ntombikayise Nkalitshana as the new mayor of eMalahleni Local Municipality is a good move. The position became vacant following the passing of mayor Linah Malatjie in a car accident last month. The union’s Sam Lekhuleni says some key issues that Nkalitshana needs to urgently focus on include working conditions of employees, the outsourcing of municipal services, and a need to review the tendering process, which escalates corruption.
