Reply:
As mentioned in the previous reply to parliamentary question 633 posed by Dr MM Gondwe (DA), the filling of posts within a department is the responsibility of the relevant Executive Authority in terms of Section 3(7) of the Public Service Act, 1994. The practice of recruitment is therefore decentralised to the relevant Executive Authority.
The information on the filling of the post (in terms of the minimum requirements) can be obtained directly from the relevant Department.
