After researching the South African Reserve Bank's website, I could not find any documentation to support that there was a Director of Foreign Operations. Furthermore, I could not find a Vusi Nqube on their site either.

The Government of India controls/governs the Reserve Bank. More specifically the Finance Ministry of the Indian Government controls/governs the Reserve Bank. However, the Reserve Bank is autonomous in its operations and the Government usually doesnt intervene in the Reserve Banks day to day operations. Only for Major policy decisions do the Government & RBI collaborate.

The Federal Reserve, which is responsible for conducting U.S. monetary policies, usually works in close consultation with the United States Treasury when it intervenes in the foreign exchange markets. The Federal Reserve can, however, act independently in the foreign currency markets when conducting operations necessary to implement monetary policy.The Federal Reserve does not target specific exchange rates but instead will engage in the purchase and sale of dollars and foreign currencies in order to stabilize disorderly markets during times of financial stress in order to avoid disruptive declines in the value of the dollar. The Fed carries out foreign exchange operations through the Federal Open Market Committee in cooperation with the U.S. Treasury which is empowered with overall responsibility for foreign exchange interventions.The Federal Reserve Bank of NY engages in foreign currency operations to cushion the effects on international reserves of flows of payments due to temporary forces, to smooth out abrupt changes in foreign exchange rates, or to avoid disorderly conditions in foreign exchange markets.Such operations, which are conducted in consultations with the US Treasury are not intended to have long term, permanent, or far reaching influences or mandates on the underlying trends in capital and international trade. Such actions would be what might be termed an "over reach". Circumstances, however, do arrive that the FOMC believes can be useful in the short term to stabilize currency markets which can have a positive effects beyond the goals of the Fed or the US Treasury. Such situations where speculative flows of funds stimulated by rapidly changing exchange rates or by rapid gains or losses in a country's international reserves may tend to call for intervention by the Fed.
