Mbhele has been acting in this position since the previous city manager, Sipho Nzuza, left in June last year. Nzuza, who served as the city manager since 2017, left his position following a mutual agreement.
Kaunda said that Mbhele made a score of 92% during the process of appointing the manager.
“According to the panel, during the interview, Mbhele demonstrated a high level of experience and knowledge of strategic leadership in the municipal environment. Mbhele has a degree in social science and a Master’s Degree in Town and Regional Planning, to name a few of his qualifications,” said Kaunda.
He pointed out that the new manager will take the city to greater heights since he has vast experience in the local government.
Kaunda said: “Mbhele is not new to such position as he had held the same position in Umzumbe local Municipality. He has served as acting city manager since July last year.”
He believes that the appointment of Mbhele will stabilise the administration of the city and bring confidence to all municipal stakeholders.
“Mbhele takes the helm of the only metro in the province at the time as the municipality is working hard to rebuild after the July unrest and floods. The city manager will help us bring our water supply to normality,” Kaunda added
