National Treasury on Thursday issued a statement congratulating the newly appointed deputy director-general for public finance Dr Mampho Modise.
She was formerly a chief director for strategy and risk management in the department’s Asset and Liability Management division and dealt with policy issues as well as the development and implementation of a strategy and risk management framework to monitor and manage public sector liability portfolios.
Modise said she looked forward to her new role of managing the county’s public finances, and hoped that she could contribute to improving the living standards of all South Africans.
Finance Minister Malusi Gigaba said in the statement that Modise’s appointment was significant in advancing the National Treasury’s commitment to ensuring the continuity of leadership in the department.
He added that as part of government’s plan to transform the economy, it was committed to women empowerment.
“National Treasury is particularly pleased by this appointment as the department has added yet another capable woman to the executive.”
