A TRIBUTE TO OUR CHAIRMAN<br />
IN MEMORY OF MR ERIC MOLOBI, CHAIRMAN FROM 1996 – 2006<br />
Mr Eric Molobi, having been Deputy Chairman of the <strong>National</strong> <strong>Housing</strong><br />
Forum in 1994, was asked by Mr Joe Slovo, the first Minister of <strong>Housing</strong><br />
in the new Democratic Republic of South Africa, to Chair the Board of<br />
<strong>National</strong> <strong>Housing</strong> <strong>Finance</strong> <strong>Corporation</strong> Limited (NHFC) at its inception.<br />
Eric has, over the ten years of his Chairmanship, provided unparalleled<br />
kleadership of the Board and brought impressive passion for purpose,<br />
expertise and experience into all its deliberations. His love for the people<br />
and the desire to improve their well-being, led him to contribute tirelessly,<br />
in spite of his other numerous commitments, to the cause of <strong>housing</strong><br />
and the <strong>Corporation</strong>.<br />
He will be remembered and greatly missed by his Board colleagues,<br />
Management and staff of the <strong>Corporation</strong> for his deep commitment to<br />
<strong>housing</strong> and especially to improving the quality of life of the previously<br />
disadvantaged.<br />
NHFC’s impeccable governance record bears witness to the leadership<br />
of Eric Molobi. His humility, approachability, wisdom and integrity made<br />
him a key member of the Board and of the <strong>housing</strong> fraternity.<br />
He will be sincerely missed as an astute leader, businessman and<br />
mentor.
