1646. Dr C P Mulder (FF Plus) to ask the Minister of Energy:
(1) (a) For what reason did the former chairperson of PetroSA (name
furnished) resign and (b) what did his total annual salary prior to
his resignation amount to;
(2) whether he received a redundancy payment with his resignation; if
not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details? NW1992E
Reply:
(1)(a) After carefully considering the recent events at PetroSA, more
specifically in relation to procurement irregularities, Dr B Mokaba
was requested to vacate his position as Chairman and Director of the
Board with immediate effect.
(1) (b) Since Dr Mokaba was a non-executive director, he was therefore
not a salaried employee but instead received board fees of R770,000
for the period 1 April 2012 up to 31 March 2013 for attendance and
chairing of Board meetings.
(2) No redundancy payment was paid out for reasons in (1) (b) above. Dr
Mokaba was a non-executive director.
