Dear Sir
After receiving the handover report presented by the Interim Board, the new
Board interviewed the proposed GCEO and COO candidates at the offices of
the recruitment agency, Talent Africa, on the evening of 31 October 2017.

(These were the first choice candidates previously recommended to former
Minister Ayanda Dlodlo but not finalised upon completion of the Interim
Boards term).
The Board Chairperson and Members present instructed that such disclosures
should have first been authorised by the Board, and they considered such
action to constitute a breach of confidentiality and fiduciary responsibility if
not.

I therefore humbly request that I be released from my fiduciary duties as a
Board Member with immediate effect and that the 3-month period required in
the Act be waived.
Yours faithfully
