Fin24 reports that Cabinet announced on Thursday that two top positions in the National Treasury, which have been vacant for several years, are to be filled.

Minister in the Presidency Mondli Gungubele said Cabinet had approved the appointment of Shabeer Hamid Khan as Accountant General and Mendoe Ntswahlana as Chief Procurement Officer. Khan was previously the chief financial officer of the department of trade, industry, and competition, and Ntswahlana was a deputy director-general in the Eastern Cape provincial treasury. The director-general in the Treasury Dondo Mogajane’s contract ends next week after a 23-year career in government. Gungubele said that Finance Minster Enoch Godongwana was in the process of finding a replacement. The Treasury, which suffered a large exodus of staff over the past 10 years, is slowly being rebuilt as Godongwana moves to fill vacancies, beginning with the most senior level.
