President Cyril Ramaphosa has assented to the Municipal Systems Amendment Bill of 2022 to build state capacity, the presidency said on Saturday.
“The law requires that a vacant post of municipal manager be advertised nationally to attract as wide as possible a pool of candidates. A person may be selected for appointment as municipal manager only from this pool of candidates.
Magwenya said the legislative amendments bar municipal managers and managers directly accountable to them from holding political office in political parties. In a different area, Magwenya said the law now directs that any staff member of any municipality who has been dismissed for misconduct may only be re-employed in a municipality after the expiry of a prescribed period.
