Minister Ndabeni-Abrahams Send Condolences to the Family and Friends of the Late Dr Vuyo Mahlati

STATEMENT FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Minister of Communications and Digital Technologies Stella Ndabeni-Abrahams sends condolences to family and friends of the late Dr Vuyo Mahlati after her untimely death.

Dr Mahlati served two terms as Chairperson of the Board of Directors of the SA Post Office, during which time she oversaw the transition of the entity from traditional to digital business in mail, logistics and banking. Even now the entity remains set on this course to adapt to changes in market requirements such as the fourth industrial revolution.

As a dedicated philanthropist, Dr Mahlati took a keen interest in the social investment strategies of the Post Office. In this regard she helped set the company on a course as a responsible corporate citizen. She was instrumental in bringing about projects that extended basic rights to all South Africans, such as financial inclusion and address expansion which enables all to be economically active citizens.

The legacy of Dr Mahlati remains evident not only at the SA Post Office, but at all entities she served. The Ministry of Communications and Digital Technologies would like to extend deep sympathy to Dr Mahlati’s family, friends and colleagues. May her soul rest in peace.
