SITA strengthens its exco team

The State Information Technology Agency (SITA) has appointed three new executives to its executive committee (exco), effective September 1st. This move comes after ITWeb reported last week that SITA was filling leadership gaps in its executive team as part of stabilisation efforts. The agency plans to appoint six executives to the exco in total.

Phumzile Njoko, who will lead the supply chain management function, brings over two decades of experience in procurement and supply chain management across various sectors. Her expertise includes strategic leadership, business transformation, governance, financial management, and digitalisation.

Gabaiphiwe Tabane, the new executive responsible for client engagement, has 25 years of experience in leadership roles within the private, public, and state-owned sectors. Tabane's career highlights include strategic leadership, business transformation, commercial growth, operational management, governance, and stakeholder engagement.

Bongumusa Kumalo, the executive for network, cloud, and platforms, has over 23 years of experience in the telecoms and ICT industry. Kumalo's expertise lies in technical, operational, procedural, and management roles, with a focus on reliable, secure, and resilient ICT infrastructure and platforms.

SITA's head of corporate affairs, Tlali Tlali, emphasised that these new appointments demonstrate the agency's commitment to strengthening its leadership capacity and creating greater stability. The organisation aims to build an entity that is better equipped, more responsive, and firmly focused on delivering value to government and the citizens it serves.
