THE KwaZulu-Natal MEC for Economic Development, Tourism and Environmental Affairs, Mr Sihle Zikalala has expressed his full confidence in the newly appointed board of Ezemvelo KZN Wildlife – saying that it was made up of trusted members of the society.
At its ordinary sitting held on the 20 June 2018, the KwaZulu-Natal Provincial Cabinet approved the appointment of the new board members to serve for a period of three years.
Welcoming the new board, Mr Zikalala said: “This board is made up of trusted members of our society. These are people who are bringing to this strategic organisation a wealth of combined technical and administrative skills and experiences hence we are confident that they will hit the ground running especially in dealing decisively with all the challenges that Ezemvelo KZN Wildlife faces.
We want the board to ensure that we continue to protect our environment and biodiversity capital by employing strategies that would amongst other things curtail the scourge of rhino poaching. More importantly, we are expecting that they would influence turnaround strategies that would guarantee effective utilisation of the organisation’s assets for the generation of sustainable income.”
