The Democratic Alliance (DA) in the City of Ekurhuleni (CoE) notes with serious concern the delay in the appointment of the Group Chief Financial Officer (GCFO).
The GCFO position is critical in ensuring financial sustainability for the City and given its current financial situation filling this post is crucial.
Currently, the city is being Audited by the Auditor General, and without a GCFO in office, this raises concerns over our ability to provide financial reports in an accountable, effective and transparent manner.
We call on the newly appointed MMC for Finance, Ald Jongizizwe Dlabathi to urgently ensure that Council appoints a GCFO in order to further assist in stabilising the city’s financial situation.
