Government has expressed sadness at the passing of Dolly Mokgatle, the Executive Director and co-founder of Peotona Group Holdings.<\/p>\n
An established business leader, Mokgatle held various leadership positions within several of South Africa’s state-owned enterprises and the private sector.<\/p>\n
She was recognised for her notable contributions towards the empowerment of women.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is truly a sad day, as we have lost a leader who recognised the critical importance of gender equity and the empowerment of women. She was a staunch believer in educating and mentoring girls to achieve their dreams,\u201d said Government Communication and Information System (GCIS) Director-General (DG) Phumla Williams.<\/p>\n
Mokgatle, who also served as Chief Executive Officer of Spoornet, was the first woman, first black person and first non-technical person to be appointed to the position of Managing Director of Eskom\u2019s Transmission Group.<\/p>\n
Her wealth of experience in energy-related matters played a role in her appointment as the Deputy Chairperson of the Board of the National Energy Regulator of South Africa. <\/p>\n
Williams said the country had lost a great leader, a visionary and someone who was instrumental in steering energy-related matters for the country.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe must all continue with her legacy and work to empower women,\u201d said Williams on Monday. \u2013 SAnews.gov.za<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Government has expressed sadness at the passing of Dolly Mokgatle, the Executive Director and co-founder of Peotona Group Holdings.
