The State Security Agency finally has a new permanent boss, after former deputy energy minister Thembisile Majola was appointed to the post on Monday night.

Majola's stint as the director-general of the SSA kicks in on Tuesday March 1. It is a year-contract.

In a statement, Ramaphosa said: “The appointment of Majola is an important part of our work to stabilise the country’s intelligence services. Her extensive experience in government, international relations and security makes her well placed to lead the reform and rebuilding of the State Security Agency.

Finally but 1 year contract? From reading elsewhere, it looks like she resigned from her energy portfolio in 2018 due to family commitments. I wonder that is why it is a short term.

He needs an SSA ally in the run-up to the elective conference. If he wins a second term, he can take another look at sorting the SSA schit out.
