Public service director-general Yoliswa Makhasi would not be drawn into commenting about the allegations against her, except to say she is reserving her rights regarding a 'libelous' document.
TimesLIVE has seen the letter with Makhasi's signature dated March 10 2020 requesting a notch upgrade for the DPSA director-general.
In it, she requested Mchunu to reconsider the offer she was being made, and to upgrade her to another notch. “As per my response in acceptance of the director-general: DPSA position, I hereby request minister to reconsider the current offer on the table and upgrade to notch at least 5 of level 16 — R2,099,955.”
This, she said, was informed by the fact that when she was appointed head of department at community safety in Gauteng, it was done at level 16 entry notch in January 2016, and had not progressed since. Another reason she needed an increase was for her to enrol her children at boarding school so she could be in a better position to navigate her responsibilities in the department. She said the notch upgrade would assist significantly in ensuring “I'm able to afford this new financial commitment and perform my duties without having to be daily involved in the children’s schooling and supervision”.“I have no comment to give at this stage.
