Ekurhuleni\u2019s city manager Khaya Ngema has resigned.<\/p>\n
Ngema had served the metro since 2009.<\/p>
He is currently assisting the metro during this transition period until his last day on August 31.<\/p>\n
After serving a full term (2011-2016) and an additional two years, Ngema is set to pursue other professional interests.<\/p>
\u201cThe city manager felt that it was time to move on after spending seven years in a robust environment of municipal governance.<\/p>\n
\u201cDuring this period, he led a team entrusted to turn around and stabilise the municipality,\u201d said Ekurhuleni\u2019s head of communications and brand management, Rego Mavimbela.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe metro expresses sincere gratitude for Ngema\u2019s dedicated service to the metro and its people, and wishes him well in his future endeavours.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mavimbela added that Ngema will be remembered for his leadership that saw, amongst other things, Ekurhuleni turning the tide on wasteful expenditure since 2011.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe metro reduced wasteful expenditure from R20.8-million in the 2013\/14 financial year to R1.8-m in the last financial year.<\/p>\n
\u201cEkurhuleni further reduced its irregular spending from R235-m to R68-m in the last financial year, dropping it by a hefty amount of R187-m,\u201d Mavimbela said.<\/p>\n
The metro received clean audits for two consecutive years between 2013 and 2015 under Ngema\u2019s leadership.<\/p>\n
