Head of auditing at Auditor-General South Africa, Sibongiseni Ngoma, has been recommended by a panel to take the position of Deputy Auditor-General.
The head of audit in the Office of Auditor-General, Sibongiseni Ngoma, is tipped to become the next Deputy Auditor-General (DAG) after Parliament gave the nod to take up the position following a recruitment process that started early this year.
Ngoma is set to take over from former Deputy Auditor-General Vonani Chauke, who resigned in February ahead of the end of his term of office in June.
Auditor-General Tsakani Maluleke said on Friday that the Audit Act mandated her to appoint a suitably qualified and experienced individual as DAG, after consultation with the Standing Committee on Auditor-General.
Maluleke said the post was advertised in February and then extended to March after one candidate met the prescribed minimum requirements.
