Summary
The Zondo Commission recommended the establishment of a standing appointment and oversight committee specifically tasked with ensuring that nominees for board and executive appointments in state-owned enterprises (SOEs) meet professional, reputational and eligibility requirements. Government accepted the recommendation and that provision will be made in the "Guide for the Appointment of Persons to Boards and Chief Executive Officers of State-Owned and State-Controlled Institutions".
