The PPECB welcomes new board members
Established in 1926, the PPECB has delivered valuable services to the perishable products industry for over 90 years by enhancing the credibility of the South African export certificate and supporting the export competitiveness of South Africa’s perishable product industries. As a national public entity, the PPECB is constituted and mandated by the Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (DAFF) to perform cold chain services along with inspection and food safety services.
The Board welcomes six new members namely Mr Khaya Katoo, Mr Arthur Shipalana, Mr Clive Garrett, Mr Anton Kruger, Ms Martli Slabber and Mr Mooketsa Ramasodi, who joined Mr Angelo Petersen, Dr Mono Mashaba, Ms Jill Atwood-Palm and Ms Eurica Scholtz, who were reappointed for an additional tenure.
Furthermore, Mr Angelo Petersen was redesignated as the Chairperson of the Board while Dr Mono Mashaba was redesignated as Vice Chairperson. In addition, to discharge its duties more effectively, the PPECB Board has approved and delegated authority on specific matters to various committees, namely the Audit, Human Resources and Special Projects Committees.
“The new members bring a wealth of varied skills and diverse experience which include executive and stakeholder management, marketing, finance, agriculture, food safety and biosecurity. Their proven business leadership, as well as their extensive industry experience, will serve the PPECB and the industry well” said Petersen. “Furthermore, the previous Board provided a sound platform for the new Board to build from, which I believe has laid the foundations for a promising and successful tenure.”
“The PPECB’s strength has always been encapsulated in the diversity of its people and I believe the composition of the new Board Members exemplify this. Their extensive and diverse experience will ensure that the PPECB remains abreast of developments across all sectors which it serves and that decisions are made collaboratively and for the betterment of the industry as a whole,” said Lucien Jansen, Chief Executive Officer, the PPECB.
