Joburg needs professionals to deliver quality services
Johannesburg needs a permanent City Manager who will bring certainty and stability to the administration.
The multi-party government of the City of Johannesburg wants to professionalise the City’s public service and stabilise the administration by hiring independent professionals of the highest calibre who can deliver quality services to the residents without fear or favour.
MMC for Group Corporate and Shared Services councillor Leah Knott said in 2016, their previous government committed to ending 20 years of cadre deployment and professionalise the City’s administration, and they are now finally able to continue with this vision.
“We require independent thinkers, innovative leaders and individuals with a high ethical and moral compass.
“Crucial appointments to be made include that of city manager – the CEO of the City. While we are grateful to acting city manager Floyd Brink for steering the City through difficult times, Johannesburg needs a permanent city manager who will bring certainty and stability to the administration and enable the multi-party government to achieve its service delivery priorities,” she said.
Other positions in the City that need to be filled are:
• Executive director: economic development
• Executive director: GCSS (Group Corporate and Shared Services)
• Executive director: GSPCR (Group Strategy, Policy Co-ordination, and Relations)
• Executive director: health
“As we continue to build on the ‘Golden Start’, the multi-party government remains committed to restoring hope to all residents so that everyone can realise their aspirations in our City of Gold. Over the next 200 days, there will be more interventions that are geared towards turning our City around,” noted Knott.
