SAA director resigns from his post amid crisis at state entity

Posted on Leave a comment

SAA director Martin Kingston resigned from his post, and the move was welcomed by the communist-minded Numsa union as well as the trade union Sacca.

The two unions also said the rest of SAA directors should follow Kingston’s example and submit their resignations.

Kingston’s resignation comes after Bloomberg said in his report there is no reason why the director should be on the board.

Kingston apparently decided to resign when the company was placed under rescue because of the extremely poor results being delivered.

The shipping company is still waiting for Treasury to pay the promised R2bn earmarked to keep SAA afloat and is the second part of the R4bn initially promised to the shipping company by the government.

Energy Corporation chairman step down after a mere 7 months – just another failed SOE that is run with incompetence

Posted on Leave a comment

The chairman of the board of directors of South Africa’s Nuclear Energy Corporation, Rob Adam, filed his resignation after only seven months.

The Corporation is struggling to survive because of financial reasons than just another state-controlled entity that is apparently run with incompetence.

The entity also undergoes a so-called restructuring that will require some 400 workers to be retrenched.

The proposed retrenchments left the Nehawu union unhappy and a power struggle is in progress between the two institutions.

Adam apparently indicated that he resigned because of the demanding task on the chair’s shoulders.

It seems that the constant liaison with ministers, staff, councilors and, moreover, a disgruntled union, made Adam decide to find greener pastures.

It seems like the ANC ship is sinking and high-paid officials fleeing – Many high-ranking SA bosses are resigning or retire

Posted on Leave a comment

It appears that there is a new disease in South Africa, namely retirement or resignation. High-ranking officials are now “unexpectedly” stepping down and parliamentarians are also joining the queue.

The list grows by the day with the latest announcement from Sandile Shabalala from TymeBank , only three years after his employment.

He followed SAA’s boss Vuyani Jarana’s actions who made huge bravado bets on SAA’s revival.

SA Business Leadership’s Bonang Mohale has just announced that he will not renew his contract.

Christo Wiese is also attempting to sell R3.3bn of his Shoprite shares. Absa’s Maria Ramos resigned as head of the bank while Comair, Old Mutual and Massmart’s Chief Executive Officers have given notice that they are also retiring.

Financial experts believe the reason for the exodus is a lack of trust between boards, management and chief officials.

IT IS ALL ABOUT THE MONEY!: I’m A Single Parent, That Pension Will Help My Family – Dlamini On Parly Exit

Posted on Leave a comment

Former Minister Bathabile Dlamini said she did so because she thought she would be more useful if she was outside the legislature mobilising women.

Dlamini has told Eyewitness News she resigned from Parliament because she needed the ministerial pension benefits to take care of her family.

Dlamini spoke to EWN in a wide-ranging interview on Wednesday, a day after she resigned claiming she was made a scapegoat for the South African Social Security Agency.

She was the seventh of eight former ministers to resign from Parliament and she said she did so because she thought she would be more useful if she was outside the legislature, mobilising women.

When asked if she considered the benefits of resigning as a minister, she said: “I’m a single parent, I have responsibilities. That pension is going to help me, if I had a partner, I’d have someone to help [me].”

She further explained that the ministerial pensions were structured unf

Controversial politician, Bathabile Dlamini won’t go quietly: Five bombshell claims from her resignation letter

Posted on Leave a comment

Bathabile Dlamini’s role as a public representative has been all but vanquished on Tuesday after the controversial politician decided to leave her MP position. However, she’s not going out without a fight.

Dlamini’s sudden resignation comes in the wake of her exclusion from President Cyril Ramaphosa’s Cabinet, which was officially announced at the end of May. Dlamini’s extended political career, which spans more than two-decades within the ruling party, made her a prominent leader of the ANC Women’s League (ANCWL).

It’s understood she will remain as ANCWL president, but even so, she may have wiped a few party stalwarts off her Christmas card list this year. The outgoing MP has published an extensive resignation letter, criticising several people and processes within the government. We’ve put all her bombshell claims together:

Another ANC MP bites the dust: Tokozile Xasa is the fifth to want out of the National Assembly, resigns from Parliament

Posted on Leave a comment

Former Minister of Sport and Recreation, Tokozile Xasa, has officially become the fifth member of the ANC to tender her resignation from Parliament in the past two weeks.

Why is Tokozile Xasa resigning?
As reported by The Citizen, the party revealed that it had acknowledged Xasa’s intention to remove herself from her Parliamentary seat. Although, a reason for her departure has yet to be furnished.

ANC chief whip, Pemmy Majodina, confirmed that the former minister will be officially replaced on Monday, when the other spare comrades are sworn in to take up the positions of the four other MPs who have recently left the National Assembly.

“Comrade Xasa’s resignation is effective from today. Comrade Xasa will be replaced by comrade Judy Hermans on the national-to-national list, while comrade Makhosini Nkosi was replaced by comrade Lindiwe Mjobo on the provice-to-province list of KawZulu-Natal. Comrade Hermans will therefore still be sworn

Gauteng Education MEC, who is known for his blatant racial attacks on African speaking schools, their language and admission policies, resigned

Posted on Leave a comment

It appears that the country and specifically the Transvaal have been spared from further problems in the education sector with the resignation of Panyaza Lesufi as the MEC of education.

His term was characterized by blatant attacks on Afrikaans-speaking schools and their language and admissions policies. Educators say the province is much better off with its departure.

Political analysts ask whether he will not receive a post at Ramaphosa after the election.

Education in South Africa’s public schools is in a bad position, and a very strong and well-qualified team is needed to tackle education, but the prospects do not look good and therefore private schools are the only viable solution .
