Arries, Ms LH to ask the Minister of Social Development
What (a) are the reasons that there has been a delay in the filling of the vacancy of the director-general in her department and (b) time frames have been put in place in this regard?
Reply:
(a)The delays were occasioned by a number of reasons, including the finalisation of the organisational structure, the national macro organisation of the state process which resulted in the transfer of function from the Department of Social Development e.g. the transfer of disability and early childhood development as well as the change management readiness survey.
(b) Plans are underway to fill the position in the second quarter of the current financial year.
