THOUGHT he was on the brink of ‘collapse’, think again.
And now he returns as Dr. Floyd Brink.
Former City of Joburg City Manager Dr. Brink has been re-appointed to his previous post, by the panel who made the recommendations.
“This strategic move is a testament to the City’s commitment to robust leadership and effective governance as it continues to advance its developmental agenda, focusing on inclusivity, sustainability, and resilience,” read the media statement from the City.
“Dr. Brink’s extensive expertise and proven track record of leadership in various sectors make him an invaluable asset to our City,” said Councillor Nkosephayo Zungu, the MMC of Corporate and Shared Services in the City of Joburg Council.
“We believe his strategic vision and commitment to service delivery will significantly contribute to realising our City’s vision of a vibrant, resilient, and inclusive metropolis.”
The unassuming Dr. Brink boast a Master of Business Administration (MBA) from MANCOSA and a Bachelor of Commerce (B.Com) in Financial Management from the University of the Free State.
Additionally, he has earned a National Diploma in Engineering and, most recently, completed a PhD qualification, underscoring his unwavering commitment to academic and professional excellence.
He boasts over twenty-two (22) years of extensive work experience, including sixteen (16) years in senior management roles.
His diverse professional background encompasses financial management, engineering, and business administration.
In 2025 Dr. Brink was ousted from office twice, after the courts ruled that his 2023 and 2024 appointments, were irregular.
He begins his tenure on November 1.
