Question NW60 to the Minister of Justice and Correctional Services
17 March 2023 - NW60
Breytenbach, Adv G to ask the Minister of Justice and Correctional Services
Who is the current Head of the Justice College; (2) Whether the incumbent is a permanent appointment; if not, for how long has the position been filled by an acting Head; if so, what are the relevant details.
Reply:
1. The current Acting Head of Justice College is Mr DM Mpholo who holds a Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology, and has experience in the area of Human Resource Development and Training.
2. Mr Mpholo is a permanent employee of the Department of Justice and Constitutional Development, and was appointed as Chief Director in Human Resource Unit. Given the fact that the Department has commenced with a process of restructuring, and Justice College has been identified as a priority area, Mr Mpholo was then seconded to the position.
The post became vacant after the death of Adv. B Makhene-Gadini who was appointed as the Head of Justice College, hence Mr Mpholo started acting on the post from April 2021 to date.
