BLSA says the Public Service Commission cannot become effective without meaningful increases in its budget

# Business Leadership South Africa says the signing of the Public Service Commission Act into law last week represents a significant overhaul of the rules governing the country’s civil service. The Act broadens the scope of the Public Service Commission’s work to include municipalities, allowing it to address the governance failures that lead to poor service delivery, corruption and questionable appointments. BLSA CEO Busisiwe Mavuso says the legislation does not mean effectiveness, as the PSC cannot fulfil its vastly expanded mandate on its current budget.
