President Jacob Zuma on Friday announced the appointment of human rights activist Janet Love as a commissioner of the Electoral Commission of South Africa (IEC).
“Ms Love is filling a vacancy left by the resignation of Ms Raenette Taljaard in February 2015,” Zuma’s office said in a statement.
“President Zuma wishes Ms Love all the best in her new responsibility.”
Love, a former anti-apartheid activist and ANC MP, was involved in Codesa, the negotiations which ended white minority rule and brought about the first democratic elections in South Africa.
