Makoko succeeds Serobi Maja who retired at the end of October 2017. Yvonne Mathabatha, LGB’s Chief Finance Officer, acted as Chief Executive Officer for the interim.
Chairperson of LGB Board, Elijah Tjiane addressed staff members of the board at a reception at its offices in the city last Wednesday, and said that the board was optimistic that Makoko would take LGB to greater heights and will uphold the legacy created by the previous leaders and in particular ensure that it retains unqualified audit reports from the Auditor General.
