Today the Premier of the Western Cape, Ebrahim Rasool announced that Virginia Petersen will be the Acting Director General of the Western Cape.

This comes after the deployment of Dr Gilbert Lawrence to the Department of Community Safety for a contract period of 4 years.

Rasool says, “She is a woman who has shown great appetite for dirtying her hands and implementing and delivering.”

Rasool added, “She has done so before in transforming the delivery of social security efficiently and honestly, and she will now continue the delivery role for the Province as a whole.”

“She will act until a Director General is appointed, which we anticipate to be before the end of 2007,” added Rasool.

Petersen’s first task is to accompany the Premier to the National Cabinet Lekgotla from 24 -26 July 2007 in Pretoria.
