He[Sihlahla] carries with him wealth of experience in various fields, especially in the priority areas of the metro. We are indeed privileged to have acquired the man of his calibre and we are looking forward to a productive relationship that will enhance the delivery of services to our people,” Pakathi said..

Having started his duties on June 1, Sihlala said he did not yet have a clear vision of what his vision for the metro was as he had not met with management. “When the time is appropriate we are going to call you again to announce the vision going forward from the administration ,” he said.

The 53-year-old, originally from Queenstown, has sat on various boards including the Eastern Cape Development Corporation. He has experience directing properties, estates, legal advice and administration at Gauteng’s Ekurhuleni Metro between 2010 and 2014.
