# Minister of Human Settlements, Thembi Simelane, says the country needs skilled public servants who view public service as a calling to improve people’s lives, rather than simply a career. She says the country’s developmental agenda depends on capable institutions, ethical leadership, and a new generation of professionals, committed to serving the public interest. Simelane says every school, clinic, road and housing project delivered reflects the work of public servants responsible for turning government policies into reality. She warns that competence without integrity poses a significant risk to public institutions.
