INTRODUCTION Adv RK Sizani, Ms CP Nzimande and Dr B Luthuli have assumed duty as Commissioners following their appointment by the President on 1 February and 16 January 2017 respectively. Adv Sizani has also been designated by the President as Chairperson of the PSC. Only one remaining vacancy of Commissioner exists in the Gauteng Province. The PSC is finalizing its planning process for the 2017/18 financial year, and the costed Workplan and project proposals are being revised to identify more cost savings and to ensure that the proposed outputs are realistic given the financial constraints. The PSC took a decision in May 2016 to manage the NACH on an in-house basis in order to reduce costs. Following the expiry of the contract with Deloitte to manage the NACH on 31 December 2016, the PSC now manages the NACH in-house. The call centre is available five (5) days per week and eleven (11) hours per day. (After hours, the calls will be recorded) The PSC also implemented the Video Conferencing facility to reduce related travel costs for engagements. 3
SUMMARY OF PERFORMANCE The overall performance of the PSC is on track to meet 80% of its annual targets. The targets of most of the outputs of the PSC is set for completion in the fourth quarter of the financial year. The major challenges were due to a lack of financial resource capacity, the need for further research, and third party performance (slow/ inadequate responses from departments/ procurement of office accommodation by the DPW). 4
SUMMARY OF PERFORMANCE (2) During the period under review, the PSC continued with the investigation of grievances and of the 580 grievances lodged 78% were finalized.
