Stake-owned Mintek board chairperson Dr Vanguard Mkhosana has passed away.

Portfolio Committee on Mineral Resources and Energy chairperson Sahlulele Luzipo on July 2 confirmed Mkhosana’s death, offering condolences to the family, friends and colleagues of Mkhosana.

Mkhosana was appointed to serve a three-year term as Mintek board chairperson by Mineral Resources and Energy Minister Gwede Mantashe, starting from June 1.

He contributed to the entity his vast knowledge on matters related to corporate governance, such as strategy, organisational performance, risk control and organisational sustainability, Luzipo said in the statement.
 
“His untimely passing has robbed the country of a man of great stature and sound leadership acumen,” he said.

Throughout his career, Mkhosana served as member and chairperson of boards in both public and private companies, including, besides others, the Eastern Cape Rural Development Agency, Human Capital Group, Mayibuye Transport Corporation and Zizi-Consulting.

He is also the former director-general of the Department of Employment and Labour.
 
“Dr Mkhosana demonstrated a commitment to Mintek’s principles of integrity, accountability and openness each time he led the entity to appear before the committee. He was also passionate about transformation and he was aiming for at least 46% women representation during his tenure as board chairperson,” said Luzipo.
