IOL News reports that after an intensive executive search that spanned many months, the Nelson Mandela Foundation’s Board of Trustees has announced the appointment of Dr Mbongiseni Buthelezi as the organisation’s new chief executive with effect from 1 October.
The Foundation’s Board Chair, Professor Njabulo Ndebele, welcomed the appointment, adding that Buthelezi has an impressive and unique combination of scholarly, activist and managerial sensibilities. Buthelezi’s curriculum vitae includes leading the Public Affairs Research Institute (PARI) over the past six years. He has been a prominent social commentator, and fulfilled the role of Associate Professor at the University of Johannesburg, where he engaged deeply with questions of justice, transformation, reparation, memory and archive. The outgoing Acting Chief Executive, Verne Harris expressed his support for the appointment of Buthelezi and assured the Foundation that he would remain available for as long as was necessary. “This crucial appointment further strengthens the Foundation after a period of uncertainty; and will boost all aspects of the work we do,” Harris stated.
