Dr Elliot Michael Sibusiso Ntombela, Ugu District Municipality’s municipal manager (MM), died due to illness in hospital in Richard’s Bay this morning (January 14).
Municipal spokesperson, France Zama confirmed the death of the MM. He said he died in hospital where he had been hospitalised for more than three weeks.
“His untimely death is a great shock to the municipality and the entire municipal council, as Dr Ntombela was expected to be discharged from hospital and resume his official duties in the new year.”
The municipality requests members of the public to grant space to the family of the late Dr Ntombela during this period while they deal with their loss.
He was officially appointed as the (MM) in October 2022, after being in the position in an acting capacity for over a year.
