Busisiwe June-Rose Khumalo is the new Acting Chief Financial Officer (CFO) of Makana Municipality. A financial management specialist from the Technical Support Unit (TSU) at the Department of Planning and Treasury, she has been deployed to assist the municipality with its financial affairs.

Busisiwe June-Rose Khumalo is the new Acting Chief Financial Officer (CFO) of Makana Municipality. A financial management specialist from the Technical Support Unit (TSU) at the Department of Planning and Treasury, she has been deployed to assist the municipality with its financial affairs.

She started her career as a high school teacher and for nine years taught Accounting and Business Economics.

"I took that route because my parents could not afford to send me to university to study what I wanted," she said.

While teaching, she did her BCom Accounting through UNISA.

"In 2000 I resigned as a teacher and took the CA route, doing articles at Ngubaneni in Midrand," Khumalo said.

In 2005, with only three months left of her articles to complete, she was appointed Chief Financial Officer at the South African Heritage and Resources Agency (SAHRA) in Cape Town."

After seven years with SAHRA, Khumalo joined the Eastern Cape Department of Provincial Planning and Treasury last September.

"I work at the TSU and I am deployed where there is a need," she said.

Her deployment is the result of a request for help from Makana Municipality, said Khumalo.

She will be acting CFO until Makana appoints a permanent person in that position, but will stay until the 31 December in an advisory and support role.

"I will be acting CFO until the municipality makes a new appointment, which we estimate will be in the next two months. However, I will continue to serve Makana as a CFO support until December," she said.

Asked how bad she thought the state of financial affairs was at the municipality she said it was too early to say, but she was busy meeting with the revenue department to "give me their point of view on what is working and what is not. My intention is to do a 'gap analysis' and then see how I can assist," Khumalo said.

Questioned on how she would deal with political interference, Khumalo said she would not yet know yet if this was a problem.

"As a deployee, I still don't know the extent or severity of such interference or even whether it exists," she said.
