Senior Treasury official resigns just months after permanent appointment | Fin24

There have been changes in Treasury’s executive team.

Treasury’s deputy director-general of asset and liability management, Tshepiso Moahloli, has resigned.

Moahloli will be leaving the department on 15 October 2021, Treasury said in a statement on Monday. Moahloli had been at Treasury for 11 years.

Treasury did not indicate what Moahloli’s next endeavour would be, but Director-General Dondo Mogajane wished her well.

Among the responsibilities of the head of asset and liability management is to finance the deficit within the government’s fiscus and manage liabilities linked to state-owned enterprises and public entities. Deputy director-general of economic policy Duncan Pieterse will now take on this position from 16 October.

Both Pieterse and Moahloli were permanently appointed in their positions late last year, following Cabinet approval. They had both been serving in acting positions, Business Day reported previously.

Boipuso Modise, currently the chief director of modelling and forecasting, will fill the role as acting deputy director-general of economic policy, Treasury said.

Other changes at Treasury include the resignation of Ian Stuart, chief director of macroeconomic policy. Stuart joined the International Monetary Fund as an economist, after leaving Treasury in July. Stuart was also previously acting head of the budget office.

Treasury told Fin24 it is “proud” of officials that have gone on to fill senior positions in local and international organisations.
