Metro goes back to drawing board

MAYOR Zanoxolo Wayile has one month to handpick a suitable manager for the Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality and prepare a report with a new recommendation to council.

The process is already under way, according to mayoral spokesman Luncedo Njezula.

This comes after the top three candidates who were shortlisted and interviewed for the lucrative post last month failed to make the grade. At the last council meeting for the year, Wayile said the council had agreed that he look into the option of headhunting a suitable candidate because the shortlisted candidates were found to be lacking in the experience necessary for the job.
