The Democratic Alliance Shadow Deputy Minister of Telecommunications and Postal Services, Cameron Mackenzie says, on Monday he laid criminal charges at the Cape Town Central Police Station against the previous Directors of the South African Post Office for, among other crimes, their failure to exercise their fiduciary duties.

Mackenzie says “To think that as a deployed cadre you can take a seat on the board of the state owned company and continue to do a directive speed without actually discharging your duties all being competent to serve as a director, I think you have another thing coming.

He says “I think these charges send back a message to potential director to state owned companies that you need to be competent in order to do that job.”
