Former Durban city manager and local government expert S’bu Sithole to help troubled KZN capital.
The ANC-controlled Msunduzi municipality, the second biggest in the province, was placed under administration by Dube-Ncube last week after it emerged it was on the brink of financial collapse due to financial mismanagement.
"Our choice of top-notch administrator and intervening team reflects our desire to ensure that our capital city is returned to its glory days and to optimum functionality in the shortest possible time. It is clear that we have placed a premium on first class qualifications, skills and work experience in our decision. We want big, fast results with sustainable impact," said Dube-Ncube.
Dube-Ncube said by choosing the highest calibre of municipal administrators, her department was sending an"unequivocal message" that bringing back order to the troubled municipalities remained the department’s number one priority. However, it is not the first time that Sithole has been roped in to salvage the situation at the Msunduzi municipality. Before his appointment as Durban city manager on a five-year contract in 2001, he was applauded for taking the same municipality"out of the ICU" after he turned around its financial affairs which were on the brink of collapse. He was credited with leaving its coffers with a healthy bank balance of more than R270m.
