Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) provincial chairperson Nkululeko Dunga has been appointed as Gauteng’s MEC for Finance.

The announcement was made on Wednesday after Premier Panyaza Lesufi reshuffled his cabinet.

Dunga replaces Lebogang Maile who will be taking over the education portfolio.

Dunga’s appointment comes just days after he was sworn in as a Member of the Gauteng Provincial Legislature.

The EFF described him as a disciplined and proven leader committed to representing the working class and the poor.

His return to provincial politics follows a bruising fallout in Ekurhuleni.

Dunga stepped down as EFF caucus leader after tensions with the ANC escalated due to power-sharing in the mayoral committee.

The conflict ended with his removal as Finance MMC by Mayor Nkosindiphile Xhakaza.
