[1] After 1994, he held various jobs in post-apartheid public administration, including in the Free State Tourism Board and the Maluti-a-Phofung Local Municipality.
[1] He was suspended from that position in 2008;[2] according to the Mail & Guardian, his suspension was spearheaded by the incumbent Mayor of Mangaung, Gertrude Mothupi.
[6] In September of that year, he was elected National Chairperson of the South African Local Government Association (SALGA).
[12] At the same time, he resigned his SALGA office, which was taken up in an acting capacity by former Johannesburg Mayor Parks Tau.
[15] However, when the next provincial elective conference was held in December 2017, Manyoni boycotted it, alleging that there had been irregularities in the electoral process.
[18] At the beginning of March 2019, President Cyril Ramaphosa appointed Manyoni to a five-year term as Chairperson of the national Municipal Demarcation Board, a full-time job.
[19][20] By 2022, it was clear that Manyoni intended to stand again for election as ANC Provincial Chairperson in the Free State; the opposition Democratic Alliance (DA) objected strenuously, calling for Manyoni to resign on the grounds that his party-political interests undermined the Municipal Demarcation Board's independence.
