Ramaphosa threatened with legal action over failure to appoint NYDA board
'Nothing further is required of the president. Accordingly it is inexplicable how the appointment of the incoming board could have been so unreasonably delayed.'
The foundation argued that Ramaphosa has to appoint this new board as the term of the interim board has not been extended beyond June 1, making its standing irregular and unlawful.
One of the foundation's other concerns is that the chair of the interim board, Asanda Luwaca, has been appointed to the board of the National Skills Authority.
'The deputy executive chairperson (Karabo Mohale) has also recently been appointed to serve as the commissioner of the Independent Communications Authority of South Africa — a role which is full-time in its nature. Again, this exacerbates the leadership deficit facing the agency,' it said in the letter to Ramaphosa.
'Thulisa Ndlela, who forms part of the interim board, is also above the age of the 35, which is the threshold of youth. This is quite concerning in that the youth of South Africa and their interests cannot be championed by those who do not fall within the youth bracket.'
