To improve poor leadership in the Department, increasing oversight has been provided over each of the portfolios and strategic areas in the Department. This includes introducing weekly War Rooms and the submission of weekly reports to the HOD to ensure improved performance, accountability, and transparency across the organisation. The War Rooms are starting to show results in that for Q1 and Q2 of 2021/22 FY no irregular expenditure has been reported. It is anticipated that by the end of the year, significant leadership improvements will be notable in other areas, including in terms of the implementation of AG findings and general performance improvements.
