Treasury’s Guma leaves, reform unit to remain priority

South Africa’s National Treasury said its “pool of skilled and competent officials” is sufficient to ensure that the work of the unit responsible for economic-growth enhancing structural reforms won’t be affected by the exit of a senior official.

Nomvuyo Guma, the co-head of the unit known as Operation Vulindlela and the chief director for microeconomic policy at the Treasury, is due to leave the Pretoria-based organisation on Friday, it said. The reform program was initiated in 2020 to remove blockages to investment and is run together with President Cyril Ramaphosa’s office.
