Mdwaba says the labour minister is one reason the SA government withdrew its support for his bid to head the International Labour Organization
Productivity SA board chair and businessperson Mthunzi Mdwaba has singled out a heated exchange he had with employment and labour minister Thulas Nxesi, as one of the reasons the SA government withdrew its support for his bid to head the International Labour Organization .
As board chair of Productivity SA, a government entity aimed at improving productivity in the economy to ensure sustainable growth, Mdwaba reports to Nxesi. However, his campaign team announced this week that it regrettably noted the “mysterious withdrawal” by SA, and that Mdwaba’s campaign would proceed despite the “temporary setback”.
He explained that he was appointed as Productivity SA board chair by former labour minister Mildred Oliphant. “The current minister asked me to avail myself with a new board, but everything we have referred to him, he has not responded to.”
