DIRCO parts ways with Director-General

The Department of International Relations and Cooperation has terminated its employment relationship with Director-General, Mr Kgabo Mahoai. This follows the conclusion of the disciplinary case instituted against him.

Mr Mahoai faced charges related to irregular expenditure incurred by the Department on an unsuccessful project to purchase a piece of land in New York (USA) for purposes of constructing premises to accommodate South Africa’s Permanent Mission to the United Nations and New York Consulate.

Ambassador Nonceba Losi has been appointed as the Acting Director-General.
