PRESS STATEMENT
BY SEN. MANQOBA B. KHUMALO-ACTING MINISTER FOR INFORMATION, COMMUNICATIONS & TECHNOLOGY (ICT)
THE COMMISSIONING OF ESCCOM BOARD OF DIRECTORS
MARCH 30, 2020 - 14:00HRS
(ICT CONFERENCE ROOM)
It has pleased the Minister for Information, Communications and Technology to appoint Board Members of the Eswatini Communications Commission (ESCCOM), a parastatal under the auspices of the Ministry in terms of the Public Enterprise (Control and Monitoring) Act of 1989.
I must point out that not all the Board members are new to this task. Mr. Themba Khumalo will retain his Chairmanship seat with Mr. Polycarp Dlamini Deputizing.
The other members are as follows:
- Mr. Mvilawemphi Dlamini
- Mrs. Bongiwe Dlamini
- Mr. Bheki Ndzinisa.
Mr. December Mavimbela and Mrs. Zodwa Ginindza have been replaced by:
- Mr. John Mathwasa
- Mr. Mlungisi Dlamini
Let me encourage the new Board members to acquaint themselves with the founding legislations of the Organisation they represent in order to know their specific mandate.
It is also incumbent upon ESCCOM to ensure that the Board members are taken through corporate governance workshops not forgetting to also avail the policies governing the institution to make their job easier.
As I conclude, may I wish the Board members well in their term of office with this nugget: by Pearl Zhu, “A tech-savvy Board sets a right tone for shaping the culture of innovation.”
