COSATU KZN Press Statement, 7 October 2013

 

 

Appointment of Cde Peggy Nkonyeni as Education MEC

 

 

COSATU KZN congratulates the newly appointed MEC for Education in KZN
legislature, Cde Peggy N. Nkonyeni, who was the speaker of the legislature
and currently provincial treasurer of the ANC in our province.

 

We also salute our Premier for his decisions both administratively and
politically to show the recognition of females.

 

As COSATU we hope that Miss Nkonyeni will continue where her predecessor
left to make education in this province a priority as our previous manifesto
said, using her skills and experience.

 

We will also continue to support her and the department however we will
constructively criticise where possible and necessary.

 

We have also noted what the DA is saying but what DA must understand and
know, to be the opposition party doesn't mean that you must turn a blind eye
to the good and play the man not the game, DA must respect the rule of law,
Nkonyeni is capable.       

 

Media Fraternity is therefore cordially requested to report accordingly

ANC Statement, 7 October 2013

 

 

Appointment of New Education MEC

 

 

The African National Congress (ANC) in KwaZulu-Natal welcomes the
appointment of Comrade Peggy Nkonyeni as the new MEC for Education and we
have no doubt that she will perform her tasks conscientiously, with passion
and commitment to improve the standard of education in our province.

 

Comrade Nkonyeni has been appointed to lead the department that has since
2009 been transformed to be one of the best performing departments in the
country as evidenced by the improvements in the standard of teaching and
learning, the construction of world class schools infrastructure and the
building of high morale among educators.

 

We are confident that Cde Nkonyeni, who has been an outstanding Speaker of
the provincial legislature, will be able to carry on with the good work that
the department has done under the stewardship of Cde Senzo Mchunu who
directed the department to greater heights through the implementation of the
ANC resolutions and policies. The ANC conveys its gratitude to the outgoing
education MEC, Cde Mchunu who has served our people diligently since his
appointment.

 

Comrade Nkonyeni brings a wealth of government experience she has acquired
since she joined the provincial legislature in 1999. Under her leadership,
the legislature has functioned in an effective and professional manner and
it has become a true champion of the interests of the people.

 

The ANC is optimistic that Cde Nkonyeni will continue to elevate education
to its rightful place, to improve the quality of learning and teaching and
the management of schools which is something that we regard as of paramount
importance to our country's advancement.

 

The ANC in KwaZulu-Natal regards the appointment as part of strengthening
the provincial government and we urge all the stakeholders to work with the
new MEC to ensure that education continues to receive the attention it
deserves.
