what decisions were taken by the committees of the Municipal Council
Answers
The councillors you elect form a municipal council. This is the body that makes the by-laws and decisions for local government and oversees the executive and administration.
A municipal council has a number of different responsibilities. These include making the laws and policies, providing financial oversight, planning the budget, and hiring the municipal manager. It is also responsible for ensuring that the municipal administration fulfils its duties to the community.
Executive powers of municipal council
The executive powers of local government are considerable and include the duty to:
monitor the municipal administration and review the performance of all aspects of local government
make recommendations to council
oversee provision of services to the community
report annually to council on the effect of community participation and consultation in local government (s. 44(3)(g)(h) of the Municipal Structures Act).
These powers are exercised either by a mayor, or by an executive committee.

Each municipal council will appoint standing committees elected from among its members. Usually these include a finance committee; service committees such as water, sanitation, electricity; human resources; and development committees.
