SalgaEngineering News reports that the SA Local Government Association (Salga) has appointed Sithole Mbanga as CEO with effect from 1 July.

He takes over from Xolile George, who was appointed as Secretary to Parliament in June 2022. Salga points out that Mbanga brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise in many areas, including operations and strategic planning, and has extensive executive-level experience in public sector governance. He most recently served as the South African Cities Network CEO, which is a network of South African cities and partners that encourages the exchange of information, experience and best practice on urban development and city management. Further, Mbanga has held various managerial positions in the public and private sectors, including the Local Government Support and Learning Network and the National Business Initiative. “Mr Mbanga joins Salga at a pivotal moment in our organisation's evolution, as reflected in our 2022 to 2027 strategic plan, which is prefaced against global, continental, national and local imperatives. We are confident that he will lead and provide the much-needed strategic direction the organization needs and move the organization to greater heights,” said Salga president Bheke Stofile.
