The Board Chairperson emphasized that the Agency has ended the acting capacity of various positions affected by the lack of the CEO in the Agency, which has been its worry for some time.

Mr. Ngobeni will be known for several programmes in the department such as managing, Limpopo Marula Festival, one of the major flagship events of the province.
