In a move welcomed by Energy Minister Tina Joemat-Pettersson, former Human Settlements director-general Thabane Zulu has been appointed director-general of the Department of Energy (DoE).
He replaces acting director-general Dr Wolsey Barnard.
“The Minister is confident that this appointment will bolster efforts in South Africa’s quest of entrenching an energy mix paradigm for radical economic transformation and harnessing energy access for all,” the DoE said in a statement.
