Necsa proposes to reappoint its fired CEO as a highly-paid consultant
The Nuclear Energy Corporation of South Africa (Necsa) is proposing to reappoint its suspended and subsequently fired former CEO Phumzile Tshelane as a highly-paid consultant to the state-owned enterprise.
This has emerged following a Necsa board meeting on 28 May, where the board authorised its chairman, David Nicholls, to approach the minister of minerals and energy, Gwede Mantashe, to seek the reappointment of Tshelane as a consultant to Necsa on a limited-term contract.
When asked for comment, Minister Mantashe indicated that he is not a member of the Necsa board and is unaware of the details. However, he confirmed that the proposed reappointment was raised with him on 29 May by the Necsa chairman, and that a meeting to address the matter has been scheduled for this week.
