PROFILE
Analysis and Information,
lasted just three months. The
date of March 1994 meant a
new beginning for South
Africa and a new career path
for Mokgoro. He was called
on to be the democratic era’s
first Director-General, North
West Provincial Government,
a position which he held from
April 1994 to October 1999.
The provincial administration
had an annual budget of
R7-billion and covered a
geographical area with over
3.5-million inhabitants.
The next career move saw
Professor Mokgoro retain
the title of Director-General,
but this time it was of the
South African Management
Development Institute,
which he ran until 2003. The
South African Management
Development Institute
(SAMDI) is a government
institute responsible for the
development of managers
in the public service. As the
Director-General, he oversaw
a staff complement of 140
people.
Professor Mokgoro has
done stints as a part-time
lecturer at the University
of the Witwatersrand, the
University of Fort Hare and
the University of Pretoria.
In the years between
2003 and 2007, he did many
consulting tasks. Clients
included the Association
of Vice Chancellors of
Historically Disadvantaged Tertiary Institutions in South Africa
(ASHADI), Commonwealth Association for Public Administration
and Management (CAPAM), Department for International
Development (DFID), Development Policy Management Forum
(DPMF), the Graduate Institute of Business Science (GIBS) and
the European Union.
Looking forward to the future.
