Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>The government wants its directors-general to serve for 10 years, in a bid to stabilise the political-administrative interface across the public sector.<\/p>\n

This forms part of Acting Public Service and Administration Minister Thulas Nxesi’s framework for more decisive action on consequence management, especially in dealing with mediocrity, unethical behaviour, corrupt and criminal acts committed.<\/p>\n

On Thursday, Nxesi delivered his department’s budget vote and that of the National School of Government in Parliament.<\/p>\n

Currently, directors-general serves for five years.<\/p>\n

Last year, several directors-general were either fired or their contracts ended, creating vacancies across national government departments.<\/p>\n

Nxesi also said elected representatives and appointed officials were going back for training.<\/p>\n

“In March 2021, President Ramaphosa, together with members of the executive and other officials, joined a Master Class. I am encouraged that mayors and state entity board members are being inducted on ethical leadership and executive oversight. I am encouraged by the thousands of public servants, including our teachers, who are completing courses on Ethics,” he said.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, Nxesi said the public sector wage bill was under severe pressure due to constraints in the economy.<\/p>\n

“This situation has been aggravated by the Covid-19 pandemic. It is becoming increasingly important to develop a new remuneration framework for the public sector, including a wage-setting mechanism, to better manage the public sector wage bill and ensure a greater degree of uniformity and alignment in remuneration between the various parts of the public sector,” he said.<\/p>\n

Earlier this month, News24 reported on the fight looming at public sector wage talks, with unions putting forward their demands.<\/p>\n

Labour’s consolidated demands for the 2022\/23 public service wage talks include a demand for a 10% wage increase regardless of employee level of experience, a R2 500 increase in its housing allowance, and a “disaster salary” of 12% of basic salaries in the case of potential future disasters such as the Covid-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n
