Today the @CommZA announces two major milestone towards improving leadership stability within the portfolio.

The first is the appointment of three Deputy Director-Generals in Department. For the first time since the DCDT was established in its current form, the department will have a full complement of permanent DDGs and I look forward to working with the team to unlocking opportunities for South Africans.

The second is the appointment of the SAPO Board, which is a significant step towards SAPO exiting business rescue and will help restore stability in strategic oversight and governance.
