Minister for the Public Service and Administration Ms Faith Muthambi has conveyed South Africa's appreciation to the African Peer Review Forum of Ministers for the sterling work achieved in revitalization of the mechanism.
"I am proud to proclaim, with conviction and without fear of contradiction, that this committee, the APR Forum, and the entire APRM family including our strategic partners, continues to play a positive and significant role in ensuring that we achieve an Africa characterized by good governance" said the Minister.
The APRM is a self-assessment tool to deepen democracy and foster good governance and accountability in participating countries.
"This Committee has ensured that the APRM rise to expectations of the founding fathers in playing a role as a catalyst for sustainable development for the people of our continent"
"As servants of our people, we should always seek to ensure that we let nothing stand in the way of achieving the dream of a better Africa for our children and future generations" said the Minister.
Minister Muthambi also took the opportunity, on behalf of President Jacob Zuma to welcome all delegates to the country "We hope that although you will surely be focused on the core business delegated to you, you will also find time to visit some of our tourist attractions and experience the warmth of our people" Minister Muthambi concluded.
