30 June 2022 - NW1934
Abrahams, Ms ALA to ask the Minister of Social Development
Given that the critical position of Deputy Director-General for Welfare Services has been vacant since the tragic passing of the late Ms Connie Nxumalo in August 2020, (a) at what stage is her department with the advertisement and/or interview process for the specified vacancy and (b) by what date does she envisage the critical position will be filled permanently?
Reply:
a) The post was advertised and the preliminary shortlisting process has been finalised. The Department intends to conclude the interviews in the coming weeks, preferably June subject to the availability of all panel members whose diaries we are currently aligning.
(b) Immediately after the interviews are done, a Cabinet Memorandum will be generated and submitted for Cabinet’s concurrence, which is a requirement for all posts at this level.
