Public works minister Patricia de Lille says she is determined that properly qualified people will be appointed to positions in the department.Minister of public works Patricia de Lille has announced that more than 100 senior and middle managers at the department of public works could be dismissed.
This after an investigation requested by her predecessor, Thulas Nxesi, which looked into 688 appointments at the department found that some officials in her department were irregularly appointed between 2017 and 2018., the Public Service Commission found that 12 senior managers were irregularly appointed and another 94 middle managers were also wrongly appointed.
"We are simply following the law. What was done was illegal and we are all subject to the law. Also, there are many qualified people out there who cannot find jobs, so it’s also a matter of fairness that you begin to get people into government who are qualified to do the job, who can deliver on service delivery," said De Lille.
"This is to show that government is very serious about service delivery, that we need to make sure that we deliver quality service, but also the Batho Pele principle that we need to put people first.""We want, in the future, to make sure that the right people are appointed to the right positions because it impacts severely on service delivery if you have people are not qualified, especially for senior management.
