New director-general for DWS announced
Dr Sean Douglas Phillips has been appointed as the new permanent director-general of the Department of Water and Sanitation (DWS).
Water and Sanitation Minister Senzo Mchunu said that he is hopeful that the stability of the department and its entities will be realised with a permanent director-general of the calibre of Phillips.
He issued a plea to everyone in the sector to give him all the necessary support, noting that the appointment came at an opportune time when the water sector is faced with a myriad of challenges that need knowledgeable administrators with innovative ideas to steer the ship in the right direction, working closely with the political leadership.
“Dr Phillips comes with a wealth of knowledge in the public service, and we believe that he will assist this sixth administration in its resolve to ensure access to clean water and decent sanitation for all in line with our Constitution. Phillips will complement the work that we do so that we achieve our objectives,” Mchunu said.
Phillips is an engineer by profession with more than 20 years in senior management positions in government.
He has expertise in service delivery improvement, public service governance and administration, infrastructure procurement and delivery management, project and programme management and operations management, besides others.
