The BBC emphasised the importance of filling vacant positions in its first meeting with the Minister and are glad that he has already made positive strides.

The BBC also takes this opportunity to congratulate both Ms. Mmakgoshi Lekhethe on her appointment as Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the IDC and Mr. Mziwabantu Dayimani on his appointment as CEO of the NEF.
