ANC congratulates Minister Thoko Didiza on her appointment as AU STC
MM Thlape
The ANC wish to congratulate Minister Thoko Didiza on her election as the Chairperson of the African Union Specialised Technical Committee (STC) on Agriculture, Rural Development, Water and Environment.
STCs are thematic Committees, with a purpose to work closely with the AU Commission's departments and are answerable to the Executive Council. The Committee she leads focuses on reviewing strategic goals and identifying synergies and linkages, as well as implications for achieving the overarching goals of the Malabo Declaration on Accelerated Agricultural Growth and Transformation for Shared Prosperity and Improved Livelihoods.
Minister Dididza is a tried and tested leader best suited to lead this important Committee and it is our conviction that she will do us proud. She is fulfilling a role of developing the African continent as envisaged by President Nelson Mandela. We know that she will serve the entire continent with dignity, professionalism and integrity, and the ANC wishes her all the best in the execution of this important and tough responsibility and we would like to assure her of our unwavering support.
