Question NW263 to the Minister of Transport
06 March 2017 - NW263
Hunsinger, Dr CH to ask the Minister of Transport
What are the reasons that she issued notices of intent to dismiss certain persons (names furnished) from their positions as board members of the Airports Company South Africa?
Reply:
Airports Company South Africa SOC Limited (ACSA)
The decision was made based on a Board Evaluation Report and Skills Matrix as commissioned by the Board with a view to identify skills gaps within the Board, and consequently to capacitate the Board to enable it to properly discharge its duties to the best interest of the organization. The said analysis wasmapped against the requirements of Board Composition from the Institute of Directors South Africa (IODSA) together with the requirements of the Company within its sphere of operation.
The retired directors either did not respond to the request to furnish their skills set or areas of development for the purposes of the skills analysis; or did not have the required skills and/or did not furnish all the requested information.
