TimesLIVE reports that the City of Johannesburg has approved a report that outlines the guidelines to be followed in the search for its next city manager.
The report was tabled by group corporate and shared services MMC Loyiso Masuku and agreed to by council. This follows the ousting of former city manager Floyd Brink after a DA-led challenge to his appointment and court having found it to be irregular. The city government took a decision not to appeal the outcome but instead appoint city operations officer Tshepo Makola to act in the position while they searched for a replacement. Councillors urged the executive to speed up the process and ensure a city manager was appointed to stabilise governance. Masuku told councillors it was in the executive’s interest the vacancy was filled, but they could not commit to a timeline. Noting that the process of recruitment would be external, Masuku indicated: “It is not entirely up to us to ensure it is wrapped up in two months. There are processes to be undertaken. There is also the vetting process where we use state institutions once a shortlisting has been conducted. Our intention is not to deliberately drag [out] the recruitment process.”
