Guiding Principle

2.3.2.1.1

The Public Sector will attract and retain highly-skilled and motivated black staff in senior management, middle management and junior management positions in the Department and become an "Employer of Choice" for skilled professionals throughout the country. This will require the Department to create a supportive culture and facilitate the development of all employees, especially black women, youth and people living with disabilities. The emphasis on supporting black women and youth is cited in the Accelerated and Shared Growth initiative for South Africa (ASGISA) as a prerequisite for halving poverty and unemployment by 2014.

2.3.2.1.2

The public sector does not have a say over who is appointed as a minister or a member of the executive council, hence the exclusion of the board of directors for the department of transport. "Executive directors" shall comprise of Director-General and Deputy Directors-General and "Top management" (senior top management and other top management) shall be constituted by Chief Directors and Directors.
