Newly-appointed SARB governor says he won’t disappoint

Newly-appointed SA Reserve Bank governor Lesetja Kganyago today vowed not to let the country down.

“I’ve got no doubt that eyes will be on me and I want to say I will not disappoint,” he said in Pretoria.

He was addressing reporters after President Jacob Zuma announced his appointment at the Union Buildings.

Kganyago thanked Zuma and the country for their trust in him. “I do not take this task for granted,” he said, adding that he would continue where Gill Marcus had left off.

He was one of two of Marcus’s deputies, alongside Daniel Mminele.

Marcus would vacate the position on November 8 and Kganyago would assume duties the next day.
