The appointment was made through Legal Gazette No.4 of 2020 and was for a period of three years. The committee had a task of reviewing over 10 cases forwarded to it by the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) when its report was adopted by the House of Assembly about two weeks ago.
In September 2015, the late attorney was appointed as a member of the Board of Directors of South African Coal Mining Holdings Limited, where he was described as a Senior Partner of LR Mamba and Associates, a director of a number of private companies and legal advisor to a number of parastatals in Eswatini.
