Lassy LL Chiwayo: From political leadership to publishing
Chiwayo's career started against the backdrop of arguably the most turbulent time in South African history. As a participant in the liberation struggle, he was detained in 1985 and incarcerated on Robben Island from 1987-90. After the political transition, he gained a new life in the institutions of the new dispensation.
Between 1994-96, Chiwayo served as a Member of the National Council of Provinces – (Senator), Mpumalanga. His political leadership was further expressed through his subsequent role as the MEC for Sports, Culture and Recreation and subsequently, as MEC for Finance (1997-99). Another national leader arrived in his next leadership position as the Chief Whip of the Mpumalanga Legislature (1999-2001). In these various leadership positions, his experience encompassed coordination of legislation and public administration, governance of provinces and management of resources.
He later moved into municipal leadership when he occupied the position of the Executive Mayor of Mbombela (Nelspruit) local Municipality from 2008-11. His period as South African municipal leader was against the background of heightened national interest for the city that played host to the 2010 FIFA World Cup.
Towards the period he also served in an international diplomatic capacity focusing on Central East Asia and regional organisation (2011-2012), expanding his leadership experience beyond the borders of South Africa.
Currently, his professional journey continues through authorship at GlobalX Publications. Moving from public service to authorship allows a professional pedigree to be shared more widely.
