Minister Dlodlo to launch Public Service month
The Minister for the Public Service and Administration, Ms Ayanda Dlodlo will this Friday, 31 August 2018, launch the Public Service Month in Pretoria, setting- off a series of activities earmarked to celebrate the annual public service programme.
The launch will kick-start the month-long programme that will be rolled out across the country from 1 to 30 September under the theme: “Thuma Mina: taking public service to the people: we belong, we care, we serve.”
The focus of this year’s Public Service Month will be about demonstrating the Service Charter commitment made by public servants to serve with integrity and professionalism, as well as the values of the Batho Pele- a notion which demands that public servants put people first- through programmes that visibly portray a positive attitude.
Ahead of the launch, Minister Dlodlo will visit Kalafong Hospital to interact with health officials to seek solutions and corrective actions to challenges currently faced by the hospital.
The September month is identified by Cabinet to reignite, instil and rebuild good ethics and professionalism in how public servants do their work, and to serve as an opportunity to highlight service delivery improvement initiatives across the public service.
