The
Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality Safety and Security Directorate boosted its
senior staff complement with the appointment of Mr. Warren Prins as its Director
of Traffic and Licensing and Mr. Arlin Robile as the Director for
Security.
Prins,
with a Diploma in Traffic Services and a qualification in Municipal Police
Management, started his career in 1993 and worked as an Assistant Traffic Chief
in Mossel Bay as well as the Manager of Protection Services at Koukamma
Municipality amongst others.
Robile started at the Nelson
Mandela Bay Municipality as a security guard in 1990 and was promoted to
Assistant Security Officer in 1991. In 1994 he became a Traffic Officer and
earned another promotion in 1999 to become senior traffic officer before being
appointed in 2004 as the Assistant Director for Security Services.
"We
are very glad that we appointed a Traffic Chief to take over from Mr Hamilton
Totoyi who retired in 2015.
"Mr
Arlin Robile in turn takes over from Reverend Howard Hans Head of Security who
retired in 2010. That position has been vacant for seven years. Robile acted in
the position since 2012.
"Both
Prins and Robile start their new roles from 1 November. As you are aware, we
already appointed an experienced Executive Director in Advocate Keith Meyer. He
starts on 1 December.
"For
the first time in nine years, we have a full complement of senior staff at
Security Services and are well on our way to fill other positions as
well.
"We have the Summer Season
ahead of us and with this team in place, we are confident that we will deliver a
safe city for tourists and residents alike,” MMC John Best
said.
