Adding that after a rigorous selection and interview process, Magodi emerged as the top candidate.

“His appointment was unanimously endorsed at the third Ordinary Council sitting held on Thursday, March 27. Magodi brings a wealth of experience from both the public and private sectors.

“He has held senior leadership roles in multiple municipalities including Midvaal, serving as Head of Department for Engineering and Technical Services.
