This appointment removes the dual role for Sim‚ which had become both unsustainable and inappropriate.
"Lungisa Fuzile will be accountable to the board of SBSA‚ with a matrix reporting line to the Group Chief Executive‚ Sim Tshabalala."
Fuzile had a 20-year career in public service‚ culminating in his role as Director-General at the National Treasury from May 2011. He resigned from the post in May 2017‚ a year before his contract was due to end.
