Sinvula appointed Grootfontein CEO
Former acting Kunene chief regional officer Kisco Sinvula has been appointed as the new CEO of the Grootfontein municipality.
Sinvula replaces Charles Kariko, whose contract ended in March 2018. Grootfontein mayor Absai Haimene, who announced Sinvula's appointment during a media conference this week, said the new accounting officer has a rich educational background and served in various leadership positions, which they believe will enable him to carry out his job effectively and ensure that the town delivers much-needed services to the people.
Haimene said office-bearers are looking forward to working with Sinvula and that the aim should be the effective provision of services to the residents of Grootfontein.
“As local authority councillors, we look forward to reaching consensus on resolutions that address most, if not all, challenges faced by the Grootfontein community in an effective, fruitful and balanced manner. We therefore wish you every success at the Grootfontein municipality,” Haimene said. Sinvula holds two master's degrees, one in geographical information science and another in urban management.
He has been the acting chief regional officer at the Kunene regional council for the past two years, and also served as the deputy director of planning and development there.
During the press conference, Sinvula said he is grateful to be accorded the opportunity to lead Grootfontein and that, through collective efforts, they will move the local authority to greater heights.
“I do not want to promise a lot but I do believe that what is critical is that we need to provide the services to the inhabitants of the town. I am blessed to be here,” Sinvula said briefly.
