The KwaZulu-Natal provincial government has conducted skills audits of more than 4,000 municipal officials.
Zikalala announced that a skills audit for provincial departments and entities would start in the next six months.“From this commitment, through Cogta, we conducted an assessment of the performance of all municipalities in the province and we consolidated strategic intervention plans per district.”
He said these plans were implemented in all municipalities and each municipality was accounting directly to the MEC for Cogta. A premier's co-ordinating forum, aimed at assessing progress, would meet quarterly to review progress. “Having consolidated at the provincial level, our political attention is now focused on the local sphere of government, because of serious challenges there and because that is where the impact of our policies and programmes are mostly felt,” he added.
Zikalala said the provincial government had made progress in monitoring and enforcing professional and ethical services in the public sector through the programme.
