# The DA says Gauteng is facing a severe service delivery crisis and is in dire need of permanent Heads of Departments with full authority, long-term strategy, and decision-making capacity to deliver adequate services to its residents. The DA’s Solly Msimanga says instead of advertising the HODs posts before the end of contracts, Gauteng Premier Panyaza Lesufi waited until the contracts had expired to appoint acting HODs. He says most of them are influenced by political preferences which will negatively impact the department’s capacity to deliver services to residents.
DA demands that Lesufi appoint permanent HODs to ensure stability and adequate service delivery
