The Joburg City Theatres (JCT) – the City of Joburg’s entertainment entity – achieved 91 per cent of its service delivery targets during the third quarter of the 2016/ 17 financial year.
This is according to a report presented to council by JCT Chief Executive Officer, Xoliswa Nduneni-Ngema, during the council’s monthly meeting at the new chamber in Braamfontein at the end of last month.
The JCT consists of the city’s three theatres – Joburg, Roodepoort and Soweto.
In her quarterly report to council, Xoliswa said the municipality-owned entity achieved 20 out of 22 of its Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). She said the two remaining KPls were not measured as their implementation depended on the 2017/ 18 budget allocation.
One of the major highlights of the first quarter – from 1 January to 31 March – was the achievement of a surplus of more than R7,1 million.
Xoliswa said the Arts Alive Festival contributed R1,4 million to the surplus, while its Catering Services Department contributed slightly more than R1 million.
The CEO thanked outgoing board members Dr Wally Mongane Serote, Ishmael Mkhabela, Mavuso Shabalala, Mabutho Sithole, Todd Twala, Lorraine Malebo, Sipho Sithole, Bishop Eugene Sinclair and Advocate Johnny Modipa for their dedication, “which inspired all of us”.
Xoliswa welcomed the new board, which consists of Nkopane Maphiri, Ashley Hayden, Mpho Lecoge, Stella Baloyi, Dr Theophilus Mukhuba, Amanda Forsythe, Thabo Moitsheki, Makhosazana Mbatha, Mpumelelo Mkhabela and Junior Ramova.
