IN CONVERSATION WITH Brutus Malada

The article reports that in the metropolitan municipality of Johannesburg the city council was scheduled to vote on a report recommending the reappointment of Floyd Brink as City Manager.
However, the process has been delayed because the ruling party, African National Congress (ANC), could not reach consensus on whether to back Brink’s return.
The opposition party, ActionSA’s Johannesburg caucus leader Marcel Coutriers, has warned that this delay — and the political wrangling behind it — threatens the delivery of essential services (water, electricity, roads, safety) in Johannesburg.
The broader implication is that political instability or lack of administrative leadership at municipal level may hamper service delivery, impacting residents who are already awaiting basic municipal functions.
