Johannesburg mayor Kabelo Gwamanda is away on government business for 48 hours while transport MMC Kenny Kunene steps in as acting mayor.
Protocol states that when a mayor leaves town, he appoints an acting mayor to take over his duties for the duration of his trip.
Gwamanda is in Cape Town honouring the National Treasury’s invitation to the Executive Leadership Programme.
The programme is a cities' support initiative organised by the Treasury under the theme “navigating the storms: building adaptable and resilient cities”.
He was invited alongside MMCs Loyiso Masuku and Eunice Mgcina.
Among the guests is finance minister Enoch Godongwana and deputy cooperative governance and traditional affairs minister Parks Tau.
Kunene will be relieved of acting mayor duties on Tuesday, when Gwamanda is expected to return.
