EWN reports that the City of Johannesburg remains without a city manager after the municipal council withdrew a report recommending Floyd Brink’s appointment to the role.
Council was expected to debate the proposal for Brink’s reappointment on Thursday, but the matter was removed from the agenda. Brink has been ousted from the position twice before, after the courts ruled that his 2023 and 2024 appointments were irregular. A selection panel that recently interviewed ten candidates for the post had once again recommended Brink for the position.
Apparently, the ANC is divided over whether Brink should be reappointed as the city manager. Some factions within the ANC are said to be pushing or former Joburg Property Company CEO Helen Botes to take up the role instead. Council is expected to meet next week to further discuss the appointment of a new city manager.
