08/08/2017: New MMC to Assume Office in the City of Johannesburg

Today, following extensive consideration, I am pleased to announce that Cllr Leah Knott has agreed to assume the position of MMC for Economic Development in the City of Johannesburg.

MMC Knott brings with her years of ward-based community activism, serving the people of Johannesburg.

MMC Knott holds a legal qualification and years of experience in the property development planning industry prior to becoming a councillor.

Under MMC Knott’s leadership, the Department of Economic Development will be driving the implementation of the City’s jobs and growth strategy. The key deliverables of this strategy will be the achievement of investment and job creation. I am confident MMC Knott will play an invaluable role in this regard.

I have every confidence in MMC Knott’s abilities and I wish her well in this new role. I am confident that she will continue to serve the residents of our City with distinction.

Cllr Herman Mashaba

Executive Mayor
