Outgoing Director-General Mkuseli Apleni has commenced the handing over process to Mavuso to ensure a smooth transition pending his departure.

Gigaba believes these appointments will strengthen the management of the department while ensuring that there is continuity following the resignation of Apleni.

“The appointments of Mr Mavuso and Ms Nengovhela will ensure a smooth transition given their vast experiences in their respective fields. While we will commence with the recruitment processes for the new Director-General including vacant Deputy Directors-General, we needed to put in place a strong team to continue to steer the Department in the right direction as we seek to reimagine a new Home Affairs,” Gigaba explained.
