I am pleased to announce the appointment of André Coetzee as Chief of Staff in my office, a role that is crucial to advancing my administration’s governance agenda. André’s academic background and extensive public sector experience make him exceptionally well-qualified for this position.
He holds a Master of Public Policy with Distinction from the University of Oxford’s Blavatnik School of Government, as well as a Master of Arts in International Studies and a Bachelor of Arts in Political, Philosophical and Economic Studies from Stellenbosch University.
In addition to his academic achievements, André brings over a decade of experience in politics and the public sector, having served in various roles focused on legislative politics, policy development and implementation, urban governance and strategic planning.
Notably, from 2016 to 2019, André served as Director of Policy and Planning in the Private Office of the Executive Mayor of Johannesburg for Mayor Herman Mashaba. During this time, he played a pivotal role in shaping and executing the city’s strategic vision, representing the mayor in the city’s integrated planning processes.
His contributions were instrumental in the development of Johannesburg’s annual Integrated Development Plan (IDP) and budgets, where he assisted Mayor Mashaba in redirecting non-strategic expenditure towards frontline services and infrastructure development.
Having worked with André for several years, I am confident that his knowledge of city governance, combined with his experience of operating within a complex coalition environment, will be of immense value to my office and the new multiparty government in Tshwane.
As we confront the significant challenges facing Tshwane, it is essential that we bring in fit-for-purpose, professional staff who are fully committed to our collective governance agenda.
Ensuring that my administration is supported by the expertise needed to drive meaningful change is critical to our success.
I look forward to working with André to ensure that we deliver on our commitments to the people of Tshwane – improving service delivery, enhancing infrastructure and building a City that truly serves all residents.
