The Citizen reports that the sanitation and rubbish removal agency for the City of Johannesburg, Pikitup, has finally appointed a new boss after almost six months without a head.
The appointment of Lungile Dhlamini from 1 May as the new Pikitup MD was announced by mayoral committee member for environment and infrastructure services, Nico de Jager. Dhlamini is a registered civil engineer with a municipal finance management background. He replaces Amanda Nair, who was fired with immediate effect last September by the Pikitup board after an independent forensic investigation into allegations against her of recruitment, remuneration and procurement irregularities. Dlamini will take over an entity that is notorious for poor service to residents. Rubbish removal employees in the metro are notorious for their unplanned industrial actions.
