Joburg MMC Loyiso Masuku slams DA for ‘false claims’ over city manager appointment

Joburg group corporate and shared services MMC Loyiso Masuku has defended the decision to approve the recommendation to appoint Floyd Brink as city manager.

The DA alleged the council decision to appoint Brink, the second preferred candidate, instead of Johan Mettler, the first preferred candidate, was “done to placate the EFF, who played a key role in the ANC staying in power in Joburg”.

“During the recruitment of a city manager, as approved by council, the panel was apprised that Brink did not meet the minimum requirements of the job specifications, as advertised on August 12 2022, which mandated 10 years’ senior management experience — in this sense a senior manager as per co-operative governance and traditional affairs regulations,” said DA caucus leader and former mayorThe DA alleged Brink only had four years' experience as COO within the City of Johannesburg.

Masuku said the resolution was as per the outcomes of a recruitment process, interview and selection panel chaired by Phalatse together with Leah Knott and coalition partners Funzi Ngobeni and Michael Harris last year.
