From being a manager in the Govan Mbeki Municipality (GMM) speaker’s office, Benzi Soko has landed the role of parliamentary spokesman for the National Council of Provinces.
Soko is also a former chief of staff at GMM and was the national spokesperson for the Police Prison Civil Rights Union (POPCRU) in 2007.
He was first employed as the manager in the office of the municipal speaker in 2009 before he was appointed chief of staff.
