Polokwane Mayor Resigns Amid Controversy Over Foreign National’s Appointment

The Mayor of Polokwane has reportedly resigned following public backlash over the appointment of a Zimbabwean national as Director of Water and Sanitation. The decision sparked widespread criticism, with many questioning why a foreign national was chosen over local candidates for the key municipal role.

Sources say the mayor faced intense political and community pressure after approving the appointment, which some claim bypassed standard hiring procedures. Critics argue that the move disregarded qualified South African applicants, fueling accusations of favoritism and poor governance.

The controversy has ignited heated debate online, with many citizens expressing frustration over unemployment and foreign nationals holding government positions. Opposition parties and community groups are demanding an investigation into the recruitment process.

While the municipality has not yet confirmed the resignation, insiders suggest the mayor stepped down to avoid further fallout. Analysts say the departure could signal a leadership crisis, prompting calls for urgent intervention by the Limpopo provincial government.

Council members are reportedly organizing an emergency meeting to address the vacancy and ensure uninterrupted services, particularly in water and sanitation—a critical department for the city.

As the situation develops, residents await official confirmation and clarity on the municipality’s next steps. The incident has raised broader questions about transparency, local employment, and the rules governing foreign hires in public sector roles.
