Professionalised civil service to include municipalities: Ramaphosa: President Cyril Ramaphosa says his administration’s efforts to professionalise the public service will also be rolled out at municipal level.
The president was speaking on the last day of the National Council of Provinces’ “taking parliament to the people” programme in Port Shepstone, on the KZN south coast, on Thursday.
As Ramaphosa was about to deliver his speech, the EFF staged a mini-protest, saying he should not be allowed to address the sitting because of the Phala Phala farm scandal. “The government continues to provide social grants to millions of poor South Africans. Before Covid we had 18-million people receiving social grants, during Covid we introduced the Covid-19 special distress grant, which now covers 11-million people,” he said.
“Among others, the laws will disallow municipal officials from also holding political office, define competency criteria for the appointment of municipal managers and strengthen the performance-evaluation process.”
