Sanral CEO Nazir Alli's resignation has been withdrawn

Sanral CEO Nazir Alli, who resigned last month, is to “stay put”, Deputy President Kgalema Motlanthe said today.

“There is no search for a new CEO,” Motlanthe said in Cape Town.

Speaking in Cape Town at a media briefing on the controversial e-tolling system that the government is seeking to impose on Gauteng highways, he confirmed the resignation had been withdrawn.

Asked if this meant Alli had withdrawn his resignation, he said the SA National Roads Agency Ltd’s board had received the resignation, but Alli had proffered it in the belief that he was not contributing towards solving Sanral’s problems.

“We received a letter of resignation... [but] indeed the problem did not revolve around him... So there was an understanding he stays put.” 

The board had still to formally deal with the matter.

Earlier, Transport Minister Sibusiso Ndebele told journalists what Alli had been trying to do with his resignation was say: “If I’m the problem, I want to remove myself”. 

However, the government felt Alli was not the problem. “So that [his resignation] is not on... So we need to continue, particularly in this [coming] period, because we need all the experience that we have... we want all hands on deck,” Ndebele said.

This poor indian was simply implementing a stupid programme given to him by his handlers but when SHlT hit the fan every one took cover and he faced the SHlT alone. The SHlT was too much so he resigned I do not blame if the principle is simple the programme was laced with greed and stupidly calculated assamption that we are going to pay with out qualsms.
