The City of Ekurhuleni has appointed a new city manager.
Dr Imogen Mashazi, an Ekurhuleni resident, was appointed at the November council sitting held in Germiston on Thursday last week.
She takes over from Mr Khaya Ngema, who left the position in August last year.
The executive mayor of Ekurhuleni, Clr Mzwandile Masina, congratulated Dr Mashazi and wished her well in her new appointment.
“I have no doubt in Dr Mshazi’s capabilities. This is a woman who has been in local government for 20 years and that speaks for itself. She has come through the ranks from being an operational staff member to being the chief operations officer, therefore she understands local government very well.
“She understands the systems, policies and most of all the processes of ensuring that we deliver quality, sustainable and predictable services to our people,” said Clr Masina.
Prior to her recent appointment, Dr Mashazi was the city’s Acting City Manager, a position she acted in for three months.
Dr Mashazi has been appointed as the city manager for five years.
