Prasa chief engineer registered with Engineering Council, but not with a degree
9 July 2015
A preliminary investigation of the FF Plus has found that Prasa chief engineer, Dr. Daniel Mtimkulu, is indeed registered with the Engineering Council of South Africa (ECSA), but only as an engineering technologist, Adv. Anton Alberts, the FF Plus’ parliamentary spokesperson on Transport says.
To be registered as a technologist, requires a diploma or a B-Tech qualification. To be registered as an engineer, a relevant University B-degree in engineering would be a minimum requirement.
The information on Mtimkulu’s registration can be found on Ecsa’s website (www.ecsa.co.za). According to the site, Daniel Qhubekani Mtimkulu, with registration number 200970014, has been registered since 22 January 2009 as a civil professional engineering technologist.
