MMC Mabaso building a legacy of action orientation. Councillor Mlungisi Providence Mabaso, MMC for Human Settlement in the City of Johannesburg, is driven by his desire to make a lasting impact in Johannesburg. Raised in Ulundi, KwaZulu-Natal, and having faced housing challenges himself, Cllr Mabaso is passionate about his portfolio. The youngest MMC in the multiparty coalition government, Mabaso first gained recognition as a community leader in Soweto’s Dube Hostel, where he led protests against the hostel’s demolition. His political journey saw him serve as a PR councillor before moving to the private sector and eventually rejoining the City as a local councillor. Mabaso is focused on aligning the housing department’s mandate with the City’s strategic priorities. He leads projects like building Community Residential Units within hostels, upgrading informal settlements, and fast-tracking allocations. Mabaso is committed to providing housing and securing tenure for residents by prioritising title deeds, electrifying neighbourhoods, and improving roads. He is also passionate about student accommodation projects and establishing rental units in Jeppestown. Known as “the last-born” due to his age, Mabaso remains determined to be remembered as a doer who delivers on his promises, prioritizing housing projects during his term.
