Limberg first joined the City Council in 2011, and has also previously served on the City's Mayoral Committee in portfolios responsible for informal settlements, water, waste, and sanitation.

Cape Town Mayor Geordin Hill-Lewis announced that Limberg will take over from Beverely van Reenen who is the Mayco Member for Energy.

‘’Alderman Limberg previously occupied the Energy Mayco portfolio during the exploratory years of independent power procurement and the City's battles against red tape in the regulatory environment. She is also linked to developments in the changing energy governance landscape as a City representative to the South African Local Government Association (Salga).’’

‘’As we enter the critical next phase of our Priority Programme to End Load-shedding, I am confident that Alderman Limberg brings a special vantage point to help oversee our plans for Cape Town's transition to a dynamic, decentralised, energy economy,’’ added Hill-Lewis.

Van Reenen will serve residents as the Ward 25 Councillor, which serves communities such as Uitsig, Ravensmead, Cravenby and Eureka.
