DA welcomes
disbandment of Mpumalanga
By BRIAN KAJENGO
The DA welcomes the decision to disband the boards of the
province’s non-performing parastatals, and express our hope that premier Mabuza
and his colleagues are now finally committing to clean corporate governance
free from political interference.
According to reports, the premier and the provincial executive
decided to disband the boards of the Mpumalanga Economic Growth Agency and the
Mpumalanga Tourism and Parks Agency – allegedly over the failure of both to
carry out their mandate.
DA says both agencies have for years served as cushy appointments
for ANC cadres loyal to Mabuza, and in many instances did not have the foggiest
idea about the economic growth and development or tourism and conservation.
While the decision to disband both boards must be welcomed by
every person concerned over the chaotic state of affairs at both agencies, the
DA hopes that the premier and his cabinet will now learn from their mistakes in
the past, follow due process, and appoint competent individuals with the
necessary skills and qualifications to transform both agencies into engines of
Mpumalanga’s growth.
The DA will closely monitor the board selection process as members
selected and appointed.
