Former SABC and Special Investigating Unit spokesperson Kaizer Kganyago has been appointed as the new National Prosecuting Authority spokesperson.
Kganyago officially joined the NPA with effect from Monday, strengthening the authority’s communications leadership at a time when public accountability and transparency remain under sharp focus.
Head of Communications Bulelwa Makeke said Kganyago brings a wealth of experience in corporate communications strategy and stakeholder relations management.
“He joins the NPA as part of enhancing the organisation’s communications capacity, in particular as the NPA spokesperson. Kganyago’s previous experience includes his role as Head of Communications at the South African Broadcasting Corporation and SIU Chief Stakeholder Relations and Communications Officer.
“At both organisations, he held the role of spokesperson and led a successful communications and stakeholder relations strategy, contributing to the improvement of public trust in those organisations,” Makeke said.
Makeke further stated that as the NPA focuses on driving the implementation of its strategy and Annual Performance Plan, including the Quick Wins Action Plan, it has become critical to further enhance the institution’s ability to communicate effectively with all stakeholders in order to improve public confidence in its work and performance.
“Proactive communication has been identified as one of the NPA’s strategic focus areas, and Kganyago joining the organisation’s communication machinery will add value to the implementation of the communication strategy.
“The objective of this strategic focus is clear: to ensure that the NPA strategy, plans and achievements are communicated internally and externally in a manner that improves public understanding of NPA work and successful performance,” said Makeke.
