DR ZOLA SKWEYIYA, MINSTER FOR THE PUBLIC SERVICE AND ADMINISTRATION: ALLEGED IRREGULARITIES IN THE PUBLIC SERVICE, 12/10/94.
A number of press reports have recently appeared which have alleged that irregularities regarding inter alia promotions were taking place in certain sections of the Public Service.
I want to reassure all public servants and the public at large that these cases will be thoroughly investigated and be dealt with in terms of the Constitution, 1993. Section 236(6) of the Constitution specifically provides for the President to appoint a judicial commission to investigate and review such cases which occurred between 27 April 1993 and 30 September 1994 in the former public services of the RSA, the TBVC States and the Self-governing Territories as well as the present Public Service.
The Government is presently giving urgent attention to the establishment of such a commission. Further details in this regard will be released soon.
Inquiries: Mrs Basetsana Thokoane
