Cabinet has rejected a proposal to appoint as South African mining expert to head Debswana mining company. The position of Debswana Managing Director is still vacant after the government enclave pushed back against a recommendation to appoint a South African miner to the lucrative post.
Sunday Standard can reveal that South African miner, Moses Madondo was recommended for the position. The top contributor to the country’s GDP, the company has over one-and-half years been without a substantive MD. Debswana top post became vacant after the death of the then MD, Albert Milton on 16th August 2019 after having been appointed as Managing Director for Debswana in December 2018. Lynette Armstrong, Chief Financial Officer, was appointed Acting Managing Director and is believed to be in the race for the corner office.
