Cabinet on Thursday announced the appointment of eight non-executive directors, with Deputy Minister in the Presidency for Planning, Monitoring and Evaluation Seiso Mohai appointed as chairperson. The appointments mark the start of a new chapter for Africa’s largest asset manager but come with several key governance issues still unresolved. Suspended chief executive Patrick Dlamini is awaiting judgment in the Gauteng High Court after challenging the legality of his precautionary suspension. Welcoming the appointments, Acting Chief Executive Bathandwa Damoyi said the organisation was ready to work with the incoming board. She said management’s immediate priority would be to induct the new board so it could begin its oversight responsibilities without delay.
