7 FOREWORD BY THE CHAiRPERSON I am honoured to present the Annual Report of the PUBLiC SERViCE COMMiSSiON (PSC) for the 2016/17 financial year. During the period under review, my term of Office as Chairperson expired in August 2016. The term of Office of Commissioner Phumelele Nzimande (National Office) also expired in August 2016, whilst the term of Office of Commissioners Lulu Sizani (National Office) and Mike Seloane (Gauteng) expired in October 2016. The President of the Republic of South Africa, Honourable Jacob Zuma, re-appointed myself and Commissioner Nzimande as Commissioners for a term of five years with effect from 01 February 2017.

8 Likewise, the President designated me as Chairperson of the PSC until the end of my term. The President also appointed Dr Bruno Luthuli as Commissioner based at the National Office for a term of five years with effect from 16 January 2017. The Deputy Chairperson, Mr Ben Mthembu acted as Chairperson of the PSC from September 2016 to January 2017 and I would like to thank him for leading the PSC with aplomb during his acting the past few years, the execution of the PSC s constitutional and legislative mandate has taken into consideration the PUBLiC discourse of a developmental state and developmental PUBLiC SERViCE that seem to dominate PUBLiC SERViCE policy debates in South Africa.

9 In response to the debates, the strategic priorities and projects that were identified for implementation in the 2016/17 financial year were shaped by the PSC s strategic focus of Enhancing the Role and Impact of the PSC in building a Capable and Developmental State. Accordingly, the 2016/17 Annual Report provides account of notable achievements of the PSC in contributing towards the realisation of the above-mentioned strategic focus while at the same time contributing to the PUBLiC discourse of a developmental state that is underpinned by a developmental PUBLiC SERViCE . Despite the budgetary constraints faced by the PSC during the period under review, the PSC achieved 94% (136 of 145) of the outputs in the Workplan and I would like to thank the Director-General of the Office of the PSC for this achievement.

10 Strengthening Governance The National Development Plan (2030) and Outcome 12 of the Medium Term Strategic Framework (2014-2019) envisage a developmental PUBLiC SERViCE that is receptive and responsive to the needs of its citizens without compromising the constitutional values and principles espoused in Section 195 of the Constitution. The PSC has, in pursuit of its oversight role over the PUBLiC administration, identified weaknesses facing the PUBLiC SERViCE in the areas of human resource practices; professional and ethical conduct; and, accountable and responsible use of state resources. The PSC has also implemented the Governance Rules which provides for delegation of authority to Commissioners.
