- Johannesburg city manager Ndivhoniswani Lukhwareni has left the municipality.
- Lukhwareni agreed to the mutual termination of his employment.
- His employment was effectively terminated on February 28.
Johannesburg city manager Ndivhoniswani Lukhwareni agreed to the mutual termination of their employment, starting last month.
Mayor Geoffrey Makhubo said the termination was the result of a free and voluntary compromise between Lukhwareni and the city.
Makhubo thanked him for his service to the residents of the city and wished him the best in his future endeavors.
Last month, Makhubo denied reports that Lukhwareni had resigned. He also dismissed claims that Lukhwareni had been convinced to resign.
He claimed that he had approved his permit application.
The municipality said that as part of his permit application, Lukhwareni appointed COO Floyd Brink to act as city manager in his absence.
Last year, Makhubo ordered Lukhwareni to act decisively against all officials implicated in the personal protective equipment (PPE) scandal.
This after allegations emerged that the municipality had spent R600 million to acquire PPE, which Makhubo denied, claiming that it had only spent around R240 million.
