silient and supportive Board, whose

He acknowledges and is profound-
ly grateful to have worked with Eric
Molobi, “He was a true leader, who
gave himself fully to serve the NHFC
and to guide, protect and lead me as
the CEO and a friend. His words tome
still ring loudly: ‘Samson, try always
to do the right thing for the people
and the company, andeverything else
will take care of itself’”.
Moraba says that he has learned a
lot from his fellow Board members,
individually and corporately. “It is
their contribution and untiring sup-
port that has enabled me to lead the
NHFC for so many years.
Finally, he says that Prof Michael
Katz is enthusiastic, knowledgeable
and an effective Board Chairperson,
who is passionate about and commit-
ted to the NHFC.
