JRA’s new managing director
He is a qualified Chartered Accountant and he is no stranger to the corridors of JRA.
THE Johannesburg Roads Agency (JRA) has a new managing director, Goodwill Mbatha’s term has started on November 1.
He is a qualified chartered accountant and he is no stranger to the corridors of JRA, having spent the last six years as their chief financial officer. He was born and raised in Mpumalanga, matriculated from Inkomazi Secondary School in Mangweni and studied at the University of the Witwatersrand and then at the University of KwaZulu-Natal, before qualifying as a chartered accountant.
He joined auditing firm Deloitte and subsequently spent three years harnessing his financial skills in Australia. He holds extensive experience within the private and public sector as a chartered accountant. His passion and leadership enabled him to secure various management positions.
Early in his career, Mbatha’s good reputation and credibility had drawn the attention of the Auditor General of South Africa where he found himself serving as an auditor for the City of Johannesburg.
As the appointed MD, his focus is to align JRA’s service delivery strategy to that of the City of Johannesburg.
“The focus would be to improve the company’s performance, achieve all set targets and create a customer-centric organisation,” said Mbatha.
The JRA board wish Mbatha well in his new position as managing director of the JRA.
