Question for written reply:
The Leader of the Opposition (DA) to ask the President of the Republic:
Will he (a) instruct his Cabinet to fill all vacant director-general posts and (b) commit to doing so by a specified deadline?
Reply:
There is no intention on my part to set a specified deadline for Ministers to fill all vacant Director-General posts.
The vacancies in any number of posts, including those of Directors-General, occur at different times. Ministers are directed to follow due process in filling vacant posts, but to also do so within reasonable timeframes.
