South Africa’s Communications and Digital Technologies Minister, Solly Malatsi, has reshuffled leadership within the Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment (B-BBEE) ICT Sector Council. The move includes the immediate removal of the council’s chairperson, Minki Mazibuko-Thulo. Malatsi announced the changes, which also involve appointing interim leadership to take over the role.
The decision follows internal restructuring efforts within the sector. The council, which focuses on economic empowerment, has seen leadership changes as part of broader administrative adjustments. No immediate reason was given for Mazibuko-Thulo’s removal, though officials emphasized the need for renewed direction.
The shift highlights ongoing efforts to align the council with current policy goals. The interim leader will oversee operations until a permanent replacement is appointed. The government has not yet released details on the selection process for the new chair.
The restructuring comes amid broader discussions on economic reforms and governance in the sector. No further details were provided on the impact of the change on ongoing projects or future initiatives.
