President Cyril Ramaphosa has appointed Advocate Kholeka Gcaleka as Public Protector.
This comes after Parliament recommended Gcaleka for the position last month.
A statement issued by the Presidency says, “President Cyril Ramaphosa has in terms of section 193(4) of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa and on the recommendation of the National Assembly, appointed Advocate Nompilo Kholeka Gcaleka as Public Protector of the Republic of South Africa for a non-renewable term of seven years with effect from 1 November 2023.”
“The President wishes Advocate Gcaleka well in her position and trust that she will serve the people of South Africa with honor and dedication,” the statement adds.
