DFFE’s Albi Modise resigns to take up position at the Gautrain Management Agency
Albi Modise has resigned from his position as chief director of communications and spokesperson of the Department of Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment (DFFE) after accepting a position at the Gautrain Management Agency.
He leaves the department at the end of April after serving 14 years as the department’s media spokesperson.
Modise’s last day will be April 28.
Minister Barbara Creecy and Deputy Minister Makhotso Sotyu have thanked Modise for his dedication and commitment and wished him well for the future.
“Mr Modise leaves a legacy that will be difficult to match. But, he leaves behind an able team of communicators that he has led and trained during his tenure in the department. I will miss him, because we have worked together every day since I have been here,” Creecy says.
She adds that officials in the department, who had worked with Modise for the past 14 years, as well as the broader environmental sector would also miss his leadership and the calm manner that made it easy for him to build a lot of trust between the department and various stakeholders, including the media.
“As your time in this department draws to a close, I want to express my sincerest gratitude for your service. A spokesperson’s responsibility is one of the toughest jobs in any institution, as this person must not only be the face of the organisation, but a spokesperson must always be proactive and be on point when the time for crisis communications arises to prevent that particular crisis from getting out of hand,” says Sotyu.
