Dr Michael Sutcliffe, city manager for eThikwini, has been named the Business Connexion and CSSA IT Person of the Year.
The annual awards were presented in Durban last week.
Sutcliffe is credited with playing a leading role in making eThikwini a 'smart city`. His commitment to open source has driven key decisions, such as entering into an institutional partnership with SmartXchange, instead of opting for a packaged enterprise resource planning system, say the organisers. Sutcliffe also aims to ensure wireless connectivity for the entire city.
This year, the CSSA also named a KwaZulu-Natal IT Company of the Year. Durban-based SmartXchange, a "technology innovation node" and young business incubation centre, was named this year`s winner.
