Alec Moemi has been named as the new Director-General of the Department of Transport (DoT), with Minister Fikile Mbalula saying his appointment is crucial for stability, accountability and staff morale.
The department has been without a director-general since May 2016, after the suspension and passing of former DG Godfrey Selepe.
“I have asked the new DG to immediately prioritise issues that impact on the department’s employees and the filling of critical vacancies, 21 of which are senior management posts and include 6 Deputy DG vacancies,” Mbalula said at a media briefing in Parliament Wednesday.
Moemi will also focus on addressing challenges at the Passenger Rail Agency of South Africa (PRASA) and the highly controversial and emotive e-tolls project.
Alec Moemi has been a member of various youth organisations and active in many youth initiatives. He holds a B Juris degree from the UNW and a Master’s degree in Political Governance
