President Cyril Ramaphosa has appointed Dr Somadoda Fikeni as commissioner of the Public Service Commission.

The presidency made the announcement on Wednesday evening after parliament approved his nomination on December 2. His term of office will ran for five years.

He furthered his education at McMaster University in Canada where he studied peace and political studies. He obtained his MA in international politics and comparative development at Queens University, Canada. And then went on to obtain his PhD in comparative politics and public policy analysis at Michigan state University in the US.

“I will now limit my analysis to international affairs and broader national issues ... because I may end up investigating departments which may say I was already prejudiced,” he said on Wednesday night.

CONGRATULATIONS Prof 🙌🙌❤️❤️❤️somadodafikeni

From lazy political analyst to a commissioner.... OK sharp

He has been vocal against corruption in the ANC government. I hope he will not stop now that he is in government.

All what we hear about ramaphosa is appointments, appointments,yet South Africans are losing their jobs

Only problem is that there is no Public Service Commission. How else can the ANC go on with its unlawfull deployment policy?

The very same Dr who works as the political analyst n we expect him to be objective towards the current administrations

From political analyst to MP, yaneh, must be nice

He is a Doctor now ? Did he suddenly loose some of his degrees? last time I check he was a professor.

He is not being silenced... Ramaphosa is telling the good Doctor to go and correct what he used to analyse and found to be wrong. Let him go and correct it... simple... 😂😂

Indeed silencing the voice of reason sothat he can be easily smeared with ANC dirt. What a capture. Am sure he is promised a sum of dirty money to choke him.
