South Africa President Jacob Zuma has Mangwashi Victoria Phiyega as the country’s new police commissioner.
Zuma said: “It is my pleasure to announce the new National Police Commissioner today, who takes office with
immediate effect. She is Ms Mangwashi Victoria Phiyega, who is currently the chairperson of the Presidential Review Committee on State-Owned Enterprises and the Deputy Chairperson of the Independent Commission on the Remuneration of Office-Bearers.”
She was part of the 2010 Soccer World Cup bid committee and received a special award for her work. The University of Limpopo gave her its community work leadership award.
On the firing of her predecessor, President Zuma “The board has found General Cele to be unfit for office and has recommended his removal from office in terms of the provisions of section 8(6)(b)(v) of the South African Police Service Act No. 68 of 1995…. Having thoroughly considered the report of the board, and applied my mind thereto, I have decided to release General Cele from his duties.”
