“Hosting the Premier’s Service Excellency Awards Ceremony in July is very timely and appropriate because it gives us the opportunity to promote the legacy and values of Tata Nelson Mandela,” KZN Premier said.
“Tata Madiba believed that the State was the only instrument available to ensure a Better Life for Our People. Together with celebrating the life of Tata Madiba, we will celebrate the fact that our 20 years of democracy have been characterized by solid service delivery.”
“It was Tata Nelson Mandela, as the first President of a democratic South Africa, who spearheaded the transformation of the Public Service. We want to pay homage to civil servants who have been part of the transformation of the public service.”
