The South African Human Rights Commission (SAHRC) is pleased to announce the appointment of Ms Lindiwe Khumalo as the Chief Executive Officer with effect from 01 May 2015.
Ms Khumalo brings vast experience in the human rights field. The former Chief Operations Officer at the SAHRC was responsible for the running of the operational programs of the Commission, including the Legal Services, Research, Promotion of Access to Information as well as the Human Rights and Advocacy.
Before her appointment as the COO Ms Khumalo was the Provincial Manager for the Commission’s Free State Office.
She holds B.A. Law (Bachelor of Arts in Law) Degree, University of Swaziland; LLB (Bachelor of Laws) Degree, University of Swaziland; LLM (Master of Law – in Human Rights & Democratisation in Africa) Degree, University of Pretoria as well as MM-PDM (Masters in Management, Public and Development Management), University of Witwatersrand (in progress).
Ms Khumalo is the admitted Attorney of the High Courts of South Africa, Swaziland and Lesotho.
The Commission and staff would like to congratulate Ms Khumalo who has already shown her leadership skills as the COO, and doubt not that she will continue with the good work she is doing at the Human Rights Commission. Ms Khumalo takes over from Kayum Ahmed who unfortunately resigned at the end of February to concentrate on his studies.
