Brand SA appoints Thulisile Manzini as Acting Chief Executive

Brand South Africa announced the appointment of Thulisile Manzini as Acting Chief Executive of Brand South Africa, with immediate effect.

This comes amidst a number of organisational challenges that the organisation faced recently, amongst which is the suspension of Dr. Kingsley Makhubela as Chief Executive, due to a number of charges currently being pursued through a disciplinary process.

“We are pleased to announce Ms Manzini’s appointment as Acting Chief Executive of Brand South Africa. She is a multifaceted executive leader with more than 20 years’ experience in the public service having held various roles in the South African government,” said the Chairperson of Brand South Africa’s Board, Khanyisile Kweyama.

She added, “Her experience in transforming organisations and implementing turnaround strategies has contributed positively to good corporate governance, operations and administration”.

Manzini was previously the Deputy Director-General for Governance and Administration at the Department of Telecommunications and Postal Services (DTPS), a position she has held since January 2016.
