Joburg suspends board meetings, strategic sessions

The newly constituted Johannesburg mayoral committee has placed  strategic and programme management decisions that involve or require executive and senior managers on hold.

The decision was communicated on Wednesday to municipal entities, instructing that board meetings and strategic sessions be placed on hold until further notice.

The letter, which Sowetan's sister publication TimesLIVE has seen, was addressed to chairpersons and boards of directors and states that should there be statutory reports such as quarterly performance or audit reports that need to be considered by the boards during this period, the board chairperson may request permission to convene a meeting in writing to the city manager.
