Liquid Telecom South Africa chief operating officer Craig van Rooyen will serve as interim CEO of the company until a replacement for Reshaad Sha has been appointed, the company said on Friday.
TechCentral reported on Thursday that Sha had resigned from Liquid Telecom two years after taking the reins at the telecommunications group’s South African operation.
In an e-mailed statement, Liquid Telecom group chief operating officer Ahmed Mokhales said: “Reshaad joined the business at a time when we needed a strong leader to execute the turnaround strategy for LTSA very quickly.

Mokhales said Sha will “undertake a handover process until the end of August to Dr Craig Van Rooyen … who will lead the business in South Africa in the interim”.
He joined Liquid Telecom a year after the group dramatically expanded its presence in South Africa through the R6.5-billion acquisition of Neotel.
