His consummate knowledge of the CIVH group\u2019s businesses and the ICT industry is an asset that CIVH will still want to draw upon,&#8221; Ndlovu said.<\/p>\n<p>Andries Delport, the current CTO of the CIVH Group, will take the reigns as DFA CEO from 1 October 2021.<\/p>\n<p>He will immediately become more involved with DFA operations during the intervening transition period.<\/p>\n<p>Delport is no newcomer to the industry, having spent close to 25 years at the Vodacom Group, fulfilling the role of Vodacom Group Chief Technology Officer since 2011 before joining CIVH in 2020.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Andries is an astute technical and commercial leader in the industry, and CIVH has full confidence in his capabilities and industry pedigree in leading DFA forward during this time of high-paced regulatory, technological, and commercial-market-structure changes in the environment,&#8221; said Ndlovu.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_354177\" style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Andries-Delport-speaking.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-354177\" class=\"size-full wp-image-354177\" src=\"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Andries-Delport-speaking.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"430\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Andries-Delport-speaking.jpg 640w, https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Andries-Delport-speaking-595x400.jpg 595w, https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Andries-Delport-speaking-300x202.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-354177\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Andries Delport<\/p><\/div>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">Now read: <a href=\"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/business\/368329-vodacom-in-discussions-to-buy-vumatel-and-dfa.html\">Vodacom in discussions to buy Vumatel and DFA<\/a><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thinus Mulder has resigned as the CEO of DFA after thirteen years as an executive at the company.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":23,"featured_media":280689,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_sma_x_autopost_status":"idle","_sma_x_autopost_error":"","_sma_x_post_id":"","_sma_facebook_post_id":"","_sma_instagram_post_id":"","_sma_threads_post_id":"","_sma_x_attempts":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[41906],"tags":[337,53235,23945,35,62017,21387,51661],"class_list":["post-401705","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-business-telecoms","tag-andries-delport","tag-community-investment-ventures-holdings-civh","tag-dark-fibre-africa-dfa","tag-headline","tag-raymond-ndlovu","tag-remgro","tag-thinus-mulder"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/401705"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/23"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=401705"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/401705\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/280689"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=401705"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=401705"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=401705"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
