New IDT chairperson, deputy elected following 18-month vacancy
Public Works and Infrastructure Minister Dean Macpherson has welcomed the election of Zimbini Hill as the chairperson and Professor Raymond Nkado as the deputy chairperson of the State-owned Independent Development Trust (IDT).
Hill is the former interim chairperson of the IDT with 20 years' experience as an executive leader in sectors including financial services to public sector governance. She holds an MBA in Finance from Cass Business School at the City University of London.
Nkado is the former executive dean for the Faculty of Engineering and the Built Environment at the University of the Witwatersrand and a former president of the South African Council for Project and Construction Management Professionals. He holds a Project Management Professional qualification from the Project Management Institute of the US.
The board meeting on April 7 brings much-needed stability to the IDT and brings an end to vacancies that have existed at the entity for the last 18 months, the Department of Public Works and Infrastructure said.
“The new board will now have to deal with several challenges currently facing the IDT, including ensuring full compliance with the ongoing [audit and assurance services firm] PwC investigation into the PSA Oxygen Plant tender, restoring public trust in the IDT and putting the entity back onto a pathway of good, clean and transparent governance,” the department said.
