Johannesburg - Retired Lieutenant General Maomela Motau has been appointed the new chairperson of Armscor, the defence department said on Thursday.
He had "vast military and defence expertise" which would benefit the Armaments Corporation of South Africa in its re-organisation, spokesperson Siphiwe Dlamini said in a statement.
He headed Umkhonto we Sizwe's military strategy group and was responsible for negotiations in Kempton Park which drafted the defence chapter of the 1993 transitional Constitution.
He was chief of defence intelligence until April 2009, when he unexpectedly resigned. According to defenceWeb in May 2010 Defence Minister Lindiwe Sisulu tasked Motau, then her military adviser, with producing a long-awaited review of South Africa's defence policy.
