Andile Ngcaba declines ICT award nomination

Andile Ngcaba, former Department of Communications Director-General and new Dimension Data chairperson designate has declined his nomination for the African ICT Achievers Awards.

Ngcaba was nominated a number of times for the top black individual of the year award and was short-listed as one of the finalists. However, because he won the life time achievement category at last year’s awards, Ngcaba declined his short listing as a finalist.

“There are a number of high calibre, experienced leaders within the industry who are making significant contributions to its growth and it is important that these leaders, who are achieving great things, should be recognised for their contribution, just as I have been in the past, ” he says.

The winners will be announced on November 6 at the Dome North Gate in Johannesburg.
