Mabuza was subsequently seconded to the CGS by the Department of Mineral Resources to act as its interim CEO until the position was permanently filled. During his tenure on this role, he has managed to reprioritize geological mapping by championing the refocus of the organization towards a geo-scientific programme that seeks to map South Africa at a scale of 1: 50 000. This appointment comes into effect immediately.
