Government to host the 3rd National Batho Pele Excellence Awards
The Ministry for the Public Service and Administration will host the 3rd annual National Batho Pele Excellence Awards (NBPEA) today, Friday 13 November 2015.
Deputy Minister for the Public Service and Administration, Ms Ayanda Dlodlo will preside over the Batho Pele Excellence Awards which are part of a concerted effort by government to intensify the move towards creating a strong and capable state.
The Awards serve to recognise public servants who are selfless, dedicated, committed and who go the extra mile in servicing the citizens. Eligible to public servants across the three spheres of government, the awards seek to entrench the transformation and professionalisation of the public service. They reward excellent service delivery and recognise the contribution by public servants across government in their service delivery improvement initiatives.
The theme for the 2015 awards is “Batho Pele, putting People first” which affirms government’s position of putting citizens in the forefront of service delivery improvement initiatives, in line with the Ministry of Public Service and Administration (MPSA’s) vision.
