Public Service and Administration hands over donated books to Steve Biko Foundation, 21 May

Public servants donate books to the Steve Biko Foundation.

The Acting Principal of the National School of Government, Dr. Sipho Manana, will on behalf of the Minister for the Public Service and Administration, Ms. Ayanda Dlodlo, hand over a large consignment of educational toys, children’s books, academic textbooks, fictional and non-fictional reading material to the Steve Biko Foundation on Tuesday, 21 May 2019. The consignment was generously donated by public servants from across the country, with the desire to contribute towards building a culture of reading and to help the Ginsberg community to have access to a fully functional library right at their door step.

Nightingales Retired Nurses Association Certificate Ceremony

The National School of Government (NSG) will also use the visit to handover certificates to retired nurses who completed the NSG’s Community Builder Empowerment Course. These retired nurses who have organized themselves into the Nightingales Association, had requested Minister Dlodlo to assist their efforts of using their experience in mentoring young nurses who were entering the public service.

Though retired, the Nightingales Association insisted that they were not tired but still had both the desire and energy to contribute to their communities by restoring the integrity of the public service in particular.

Minister Dlodlo thus requested the National School of Government to facilitate and coordinate the community building efforts of the Nightingales through the NSG’s flagship Rutanang’ MaAfrica programme.

The NSG enrolled the Nightingales into a five day training programme that would empower them to become community builders, develop project funding proposals, acquire and manage resources for their community building work.
