COSATMA's MEC Lehari Welcomes Back, First And Seasoned Section 100 Administrator, Mr Mathabatha Mokonyama From National Dept of Transport MEC Lehari welcomed back to the North West department of Community Safety and Transport Management, the first ever deployed Section 100 (1) (b) Administrator. Mr Mathabatha Mokonyama had a few months stint in the province before being replaced by Mr. Nqabekhaya Nqandela whose contract with the National Department of Transport was not extended. MEC Lehari expressed comfort and excitement that the new Section 100 (1) (b) Administrator, Mr Mathabatha Mokonyama, brings with him a wealth of experience within the Department of Transport. The mandate of intervening in provinces is not a new responsibility to him either. He is substantively the Deputy Director General at the national Department of Transport. He is an accomplished Transport sector expert by passion,training, skills and execution. He was among a group of veterans National Administrators who were previously deployed as a Section 100 (1) (b) Administrator to the Limpopo government and he was befittingly placed in the Provincial department of Transport. No wonder that he became the first Section 100 (1) (b) Administrator deployed to the NW department of Community Safety and Transport Management after the near collapse of the state leading to the axing of the then Premier, this, after sporadic and protracted civil protest action. "As part of our concerted efforts to clean scholar transport, we have completed the verification and definition of the routes; with accurate kilometres. But over and above that, we are moving with speed to adjust the payment system to be in line with the correct kilometres, going forward. In addition, during the course of the 6th Administration, the Department of Community Safety and Transport Management will have to look at means to set aside the current scholar transport tender, and replace it with a modernized, more efficient, more reliable and cost effective system". Retorted Premier Prof Mokgoro. After a few month he was, however, replaced by Mr Nqabekhaya Nqandela. MEC Lehari took the opportunity to thank Mr Nqandela who had left, for the sterling work of keeping the fires lit amidst challenges he experienced. "As we welcome Mr. Mokonyama who is not a new face to this department nor a novice to the transport sector, the Department must give him 100% support, relate closely and accord him the space to intervene. We must work with him well, we must learn good attributes from him and best practices that he share with us must be copied, so that when he leaves, the Department must not collapse but must perform well and excel too". Mr Mokonyama appreciated the warm welcome as home returning gesture and indicated that he will simply be here to wrap up the business of intervention necessarily. Head of Department, Ms Botlhale Mofokeng thanked the new Administrator for once again heeding the call to come back to the province and to come finish well what he started, so well. ''Whenever you will be leaving, at some point, surely we would have learnt and we would carry on with the good work you would have sown in the department''. Concluded Mme Mofokeng.
