Communication Minister Dina Pule has appointed non-executive members to the board of Postbank.
“The board has the immediate task of completing the corporatisation of the Postbank and appointing a managing director for the bank,” she said in a statement on Monday.
“The board will have to expedite a process of ensuring that the bank is able to secure a banking licence.”
All seven board members, who were approved by Cabinet, were given three-year contracts, effective from August 1.
“We are moving with speed to ensure that we bring all citizens into the mainstream of the economy,” said Pule.
She also appointed a new board at the Universal Service and Access Agency of SA (Usaasa).
