Over 30 apply for Grootfontein CEO position
More than 30 people have applied for the Grootfontein CEO position, which has been vacant since July 2023.
This is according to Grootfontein acting CEO, Indileni Lungameni, who on Sunday said: “The interviews will take place next month and by April we will have a CEO".
He said some of the applicants are CEO’s of various local authorities.
The position was advertised early last year.
Grootfontein has been without a CEO for more than a year after the local authority parted ways with former accounting officer Kisco Sinvula.
Sinvula was a controversial figure at the municipality, where he regularly clashed with employees and councillors.
The former CEO’s final altercation resulted in an employee having to seek medical treatment after he was left with a bruised mouth from a punch.
Council terminated Sinvula’s contract on 24 May 2023 due to the breakdown of the relationship between the two parties.
He subsequently dragged council to court and the decision was rescinded. However, Sinvula was paid approximately N$3 million to step down.
Since Sinvula’s departure, Lungameni has been serving as the acting CEO of the local authority.
