(2)(a) Due to the absence of senior executives at the MDDA, the Board Chair and Board Members played a critical role in supporting management. The failure of previous management to build internal human development programmes and succession plans put pressure on the current Board to drive the rebuilding, reconfiguration and re-engineering of the organisation.
Therefore, MDDA paid a total of R510,000.00 in 2015/16 and a total of R233,000.00 in 2014/15
