Mayor Phalatse notes misrepresentation of JRA CEO's qualifications

14 November 2022

I have noted the allegations [see Daily Maverick article] that the CEO of the Johannesburg Roads Agency, Mr Tshepo Mahanuke misrepresented himself in the recruitment process. We take these allegations very seriously.

I have since asked the MMC for Transport, Cllr Funzela Ngobeni and the Chairperson of the JRA Board, Mr Thabo Motloung for a full report on the matter.

We will keep the public informed of any decision and steps taken on the matter. This matter must be addressed urgently and with full integrity.
