The deadline to submit written comments is 30 days from the date of publication.

Additionally, inquiries can be directed to Mr. Humphrey Ramafoko, who serves as a point of contact for the PSC.

Strengthening Public Service

As a critical component of the South African public service, the PSC plays a central role in the administration and management of the country’s various sectors. With the help of public input, the new legislation will reflect the evolving needs of South Africa‘s society and ensure the continued growth and development of its public service.

Opportunity for Public Contribution
