The
Presidency has confirmed that Professor Wiseman Nkuhlu would no
longer be serving as President Thabo Mbeki's Economic
Adviser.
President Mbeki made the announcement earlier this week after
agreeing to the move in principle earlier this year.
"It was obviously difficult for Prof Nkuhlu to continue
indefinitely performing both functions - as Economic Adviser and
head of the New Partnership for Africa's Development (Nepad)
Secretariat," said Presidential spokesperson Bheki Khumalo.
He added that President Mbeki hailed the work that Nkuhlu had done
as his adviser, and was currently doing for Nepad.
The President, said Khumalo, had said that Nkuhlu had applied his
energies and skills with great distinction to the crucial job of
dealing with poverty and underdevelopment.
His role, in the early days of the development of Nepad, had been
of pivotal importance to getting the programme underway.
"The President expressed his warmest thanks to him for all the work
done, and the work that he was still undertaking. South Africa was
proud that one of its sons had played such an epochal role in
Africa's socio-economic revival," said Khumalo. - BuaNews.
