Joburg axes MMC over City Power
Johannesburg Executive Mayor Herman Mashaba has fired Anthony Still as MMC of Environmental and Infrastructure Services.
Mashaba says Still is standing down with immediate effect.
"I have sat down with MMC Still and discussed the matter extensively. Unfortunately, we held a difference of opinion on the approach to tackling matters of investigations into alleged fraud and corruption within City Power," says Mashaba.
Mashaba says he is of the view that he requires a team of MMCs who share his commitment to tackling matters of alleged fraud and corruption in Joburg.

"This is what the residents of our City have demanded and I will remain unapologetic in my commitment to deliver on it," says Mashaba.
Cllr Nico De Jager will assume the position of MMC for Environmental and Infrastructure Services.
"MMC De Jager has the tenacity to address the serious issues that plague the delivery of services from the City Entities that operate under this Department. I regard this to be the most important aspect of any candidate for this position," says Mashaba.
