To strengthen the capacity of the State and increase accountability, President Cyril Ramaphosa has signed performance agreements with Members of the National Executive, following parliamentary approval of departmental annual performance plans.
The President pledged in the 2020 State of the Nation Address that these agreements would be made public so that the people of South Africa could hold those who they elected into office to account.
The President said: “We see these performance agreements as the cornerstone of a new culture of transparency and accountability, where those who are given the responsibility to serve – whether as elected office bearers or public servants – do what is expected of them.
