DID ANNUAL REPORT 2022 23

Annual Report 2022-2023

The DID has begun the process of emerging from the challenges it has faced over the past two years because of the global pandemic and the subsequent economic impact. For the year under review, the Department successfully completed several key facilities in the form of new builds, refurbishment, renovation, conditional assessments, and electro-mechanical work for social infrastructure projects: These are: • New builds are as follows: Mapenane Secondary School completed and handed over, the Sebokeng Zone 17 Clinic, Finetown Clinic and Mandisa Shiceka CDC, • Refurbishment of the Laerskool Wierdapark, Laerskool Wonderboom Suid and Transoranje LSEN, • Renovations of the 7th floor at 75 Fox Street, Lakeside Primary School and Ebomini Primary School, • Conditional assessments were conducted at Hillbrow Community Health Centre and Pretoria Pathology Services, Germiston Forensic Pathology Services, SG Lourens Nursing Clinic, Gara-Nkuwa Nursing College, Ga-Rankuwa Forensic Pathology Services, Goba Clinic and Winnie Mandela Clinic, • Electro-mechanical projects were completed at Johannesburg Laundry, Dunswart Laundry, Steve Biko Academic Hospital, Tshwane District Pharmacy and Phidisong Clinic and Bertha Gxowa Hospital. We conducted project site visits to various development corridors within our province, where infrastructure projects are being implemented, as part of our political oversight responsibilities, but more importantly to unlock bottlenecks so that we can accelerate service delivery. To this end, we are working towards ensuring that the remaining incomplete projects will be successfully completed by the end of term. Through the Expanded Public Works Programme, the Department successfully coordinated work opportunities created by province for the year under review. The programme has drawn significant numbers of the unemployed into productive work, where they acquire skills to enhance their chances to secure sustainable jobs. We have committed to ensuring that we deliver and maintain public infrastructure and leverage the immovable

asset register of the provincial government in a way that contributes to the Ten Pillar Programme, the Seven Priorities and the Elevated Priorities. In conclusion, we wish to thank the Head of Department, Ms Masabata Mutlaneng, the senior management team and the entire staff of the Department for their commitment, and for remaining focused on the work at hand.
