Necsa extends Tshelane’s contract after difference of opinion with previous board
South African Nuclear Energy Corporation (Necsa) CEO Phumzile Tshelane has had his contract extended by three years. The Cabinet announced the decision on Friday. Tshelane had been on a month-to-month contract for the past year, "due to a difference of opinion with the previous board in 2015", Necsa said. Necsa experienced governance troubles before Energy Minister Tina Joemat-Pettersson appointed a new chairman and board members in March 2016. Necsa failed to submit annual financial statements to Parliament in 2015‚ due to disagreements between Necsa and the auditor-general over financial provisions for nuclear decommissioning‚ but all financial statements were submitted to Parliament on time in 2016. The differences of opinion with the auditor-general had been resolved‚ Necsa said in a statement on Friday. The Cabinet endorsed Tshelane’s reappointment on the recommendation of the Necsa board.
