CENTENARY PRESS ALERT, 20 JUNE 2021
July 2021 marks the year of the founding centenary of the South African Communist Party (SACP), which will culminate in the 15th National Congress of the Party in July 2022. The #SACP has planned a programme of action to celebrate #SACP100
Why doesn't SASSA have educational fund where they deduct R50 from children's grant every month until they are 18years old? Because R50 X 12 months = R600. R600 X 18 years = R10800. It’s not much but a starter at least.
Speaking with @BBCAfrica on the issue of Trucks in kwaZulu Natal:
We are intervening, we are hard at work. Working with other government departments, such as the Police - this will be dealt with decisively.
I am at the Road Traffic Management Corporation offices where I’ll be meeting CEOs and Chairpersons of entities of the Department of Transport.
We are working towards a clean and efficient government and this needs all of us to work together.
The days of Board members colluding to drive out CEOs only to appoint themselves as Acting CEOs are over...I will not hesitate to act against Boards who undermine this authority.
Speaking at my meeting with Chairpersons and CEOs of Transport entities.
We have made a commitment to South Africans that we will move at a brisker pace in delivering services. We must then inculcate an ethos of Khawuleza in our service delivery model.
This must find expression in everything we do...
My door is open for briefings and engagements that assist our progress and expedite decision-making. Boards will be subject to rigorous scrutiny and will be held accountable for delivering on the Shareholder Compacts I will be signing with each of you.
CEOs of our entities must be professionals who are subject experts with the necessary skills to take our entities to new heights.
We want CEOs whose commitment to delivering a better life for all South Africans is unquestionable.
I will similarly not hesitate to act against CEOs whose conduct detracts us from our mission of delivering a transport system that grows the economy and enable citizens to realise sustainable livelihoods.
Integrated transport planning must find practical expression in everything we do. This must not be lip service, but a daily lived reality of our people.
The carnage on our roads continues unabated. It is time we re-imagine our efforts towards ensuring safety on our roads. Seamless integration must be a recurring theme in all our interventions.
One of the major drivers of inefficiency in our traffic police responsibility is the rampant corruption across the system, from Drivers’ Licence Testing Centres (DLTCs) to metro police departments.
We must eliminate this scourge in our environment.
PHANTSI NGE COOL DRINK !!
Passenger rail constitutes the backbone of our public transport system and we have to put in place building blocks to reposition rail as a mode of choice.
We are determined to address the challenges currently facing Prasa with the urgency they deserve.
