It is with great pleasure that UUNET SA announces the appointment of Bheki Nkomo as Managing Director (MD) of UUNET SA, an MCI company. Mr. Nkomo's appointment is official as of 01 November 2004.

As a proven telecommunication specialist Bheki Nkomo holds a B.Sc. degree in Electronic Engineering from the University of Surrey, UK, and has worked for a number of global communications companies, including British Telcomms, Motorola, and British Telephone Systems (BTS). Having understood the need for growth and empowerment building in Africa, Mr. Nkomo has consulted to various BE companies in South Africa, and in 1999 joined PQ Africa/Comparex, as Business Development Manager for Africa. In 2001 he was appointed at arivia.kom where he held the position of Strategic Marketing Executive Public Sector and the following year was appointed Managing Executive: Africa.

Bheki's appointment to UUNET SA comes at a time when the company is fast moving its strategy to provide converged network solutions, now including the provision of Voice over IP. We believe that together with the strong Executive team we currently have in place and the leadership of Bheki Nkomo, UUNET will gain significant strides in leading industries towards total IP communications solutions throughout Africa and beyond.

Bheki Nkomo will be based at UUNET SA's Johannesburg office, and will be spending the next few weeks meeting with customers and staff.

Kind regards

Carl Roberts
Chief of Staff for MCI in EMEA
 
So - to become a MD of UUNET, you job hop, as follows:
British Telcomms,Motorola,British Telephone Systems,Consult to various BE companies in SA, PQ Africa/Comparex, arivia.kom and now UUNET SA. And thats the ones we know about.
How long before the esteem'd MD hops again ?

So - UUNET plan to "gain significant strides in leading industries towards total IP communications solutions throughout Africa and beyond". Does this mean that they plan to create their own SAT-3 submarine cable so that we can realllllllly get rid of Teklom ?
