Environmental Affairs Minister Edna Molewa
Cabinet has extended the contract of Department of Environmental Affairs (DEA) director-general Nosipho Ngcaba and approved the appointment of Limpho Makotoko as the new DEA COO.
“Under the leadership of Ngcaba, the DEA has consistently received clean and unqualified audits and managed to fulfil its service delivery mandate, without compromising the key principles of good governance,” Environmental Affairs Minister Edna Molewa said in a statement on Friday.
The Minister welcomed the appointments, stating that it was a boon for gender representation in government.
The DEA had a target to achieve 50% representation of women in the organisation.
