City quarterly attendance grids.
Kuthula Matshazi
Councillor
Appointed June 23, 2026
The City says Matshazi was appointed to fill the vacant seat and was sworn in ahead of the July 28 council meeting. No Q1 or Q2 attendance is assigned because Matshazi did not hold the seat during those reporting periods.
Zero is limited to the July 28 minutes and the complete August 18 and August 25 recordings. It is not a claim about unaudited audio or work outside meetings.
One formula used across the Site
Same cutoff and records as the Attendance page: January 2024 through June 2026. This is not verified payroll and it is not a performance grade. The archive begins November 14, 2023, but a comparable 2023 quarterly attendance grid has not yet been indexed.
Attendance by year and quarter
The headline above combines these same City reports. These smaller periods explain the total; they are not competing scores.
City quarterly attendance grids.
City Q1 and Q2 attendance grids.
This is not evidence of silence. The 2024 recordings have not yet been audited.
Written-record minimum only. Multi-part exchanges may be compressed in the minutes, so the number retains a plus sign until audio is checked.
No unresolved or promised follow-up is identified in this member’s currently audited 2025 written-question ledger. That is not a claim about missing records or unaudited audio.
0 written-record entries
Only remarks filed under the regular council agenda’s formal STATEMENTS item. This is separate from debate remarks, questions and the editorial “notable statements” selection above.
This section does not treat moving or seconding a motion as a vote. Unanimous results without individual names remain collective records. “Absent,” “Conflict,” “Abstained” and “Not in office” are kept separate.
Presence, moving a motion, questioning and voting are different records
Attendance reproduces the City’s quarterly grids and separates formal council meetings from committees, hearings and workshops. Motion counts cover 35 written motion records from 2025 and available 2026 registries through August 25. “Substantive” removes agenda and minutes approval, in-camera transitions and adjournment. The question number is a minimum from written minutes; audio may raise it. None of these numbers proves how much work a member did outside the chamber.
For a mayor, council voting is treated separately: the mayor normally votes only to break a tie. Committee participation can create a different voting record.
