Confusion over Mogale City's municipal manager
Johannesburg – The ANC and DA are at loggerheads over the appointment of Mogale City’s acting municipal manager.
The ANC speaker in the DA-controlled council objected to the mayor’s choice of candidate for the job, and called for Gauteng human settlements MEC Paul Mashatile to intervene.
On Tuesday, mayor Lynn Pannall and Mashatile each sent a letter to council, announcing the appointment of different acting municipal managers.
The position became vacant at the end of October, when Dan Mashitisho’s contract came to an end.
Pannall announced that current chief operations officer, Abe Mbulawa, had been appointed to the position with effect from November 1 until December 31, 2016.
