Fin24 reports that Umgeni Water, SA’s second-largest water provider, advised on Monday that its acting chief executive, Nomalungelo Mkhize, had resigned with immediate effect.

The state-owned body has seen a number of changes in key positions in recent years. Mkhize was appointed as acting CEO when she was in service as Umgeni Water’s CFO. In a shareholder’s notice, Umgeni Water indicated that operations executive Sandile Dube had been appointed in the CEO post in an acting capacity with effect from last week Friday after Mkhize's resignation became official on the same day. The entity said it would wait for guidance from Minister of Water and Sanitation Senzo Mchunu regarding the filling of the CEO position in a permanent capacity. Water and Sanitation spokesperson Kamogelo Mogotsi advised that the department would discuss filling the CEO position and other matters with Umgeni Water in a meeting during a provincial visit on Wednesday.
