TAKING ACTION: Minister of Trade and Industry Rob Davies. Photo: Trevor Samson

Davies appointed Ebrahim Mohammed, the deputy national consumer commissioner, to the new role, according to a statement issued by the department.

The appointment will bypass outgoing commissioner Mamodupi Mohlala-Mulaudzi who has battled to keep her position.

Davies had said previously that Mohlala-Mulaudzi's contract would not be renewed.

In the statement, Davies thanked Mohlala-Mulaudzi, "for her contribution to the commission and wished her all the best in her future endeavours".

Mohlala-Mulaudzi joined the department's consumer commission in 2010 as part of a settlement brokered by the department of public service and administration.

The deal followed a breakdown in the relationship between Mohlala-Mulaudzi and former communications minister Siphiwe Nyanda.

Mohlala-Mulaudzi was fired from her position as director-general in Nyanda's department.

She unsuccessfully approached the Johannesburg Labour Court earlier this month to win a renewal of her contract.

First she was fired by Nyanda and now Rob does not want to renew her contract. There must be something wrong she is doing or right in that she speaks her mind about governance.
