Mashatile: ANC deployment committee has not rejected Transnet CEO candidate
The architects of state capture used black representation to legitimise their uncouth dealings in state departments and state companies such as at Transnet, Prasa and Eskom, argues the author.The ANC Deployment Committee has not rejected Transnet's CEO applicant Michelle Phillips for being"not black enough".Government processes of vetting and due diligence are responsible for the delay.
It has been widely reported that the ANC deployment committee had rejected the Transnet board's recommendation that acting group CEO Michelle Phillips because"she was not black enough". The claim appears to have been spread by individuals wishing to undermine Phillips's candidacy. The Transnet board finalised its recommendations for the CEO, the CFO, and the CEO of Transnet Freight Division at the end of January. The two frontrunners on the list for group CEO were Phillips and Cargo Carriers CEO Solly Letsoalo, who was Transnet's chief operating officer from 2005 to 2009.
Russell Baatjies, the acting CEO of TFR, and Hlengiwe Makhathini, the acting CFO, are also likely to be confirmed in their positions. Minister of Public Enterprises Pravin Gordhan, who is responsible for taking the recommendation to Cabinet for approval, said on Friday that all that remained to be done was"government processes," after which an announcement would be made. The Transnet Board is responsible for the recruitment process and has concluded its processes.
