Below is a high-level progress update of the Strategic ICT Projects for the reporting period. (i) EDRMS (SHANDUKA) PROJECT This is the organisation’s automation project that was named by employees as “Shanduka” . Shanduka is a Tsonga word loosely translated as “Change” . The project is focused on automating several internal and client facing business processes. The implementation of the Shanduka project is phased in over a period of three to four years. The DCA declared 2022/23 as the year of the client. Amongst the initiatives implemented as part of this project the organisation has started rolling out the eServices portal that enables operators to submit applications online and also pay online.

Information and Communication Technology (ICT) remains one of the strategic drivers within the SACAA. One of SACAA’s strategic outcomes is innovation and technology management. The successful realisation of this outcome will enable the SACAA to proactively respond to the changing business environment to technological shifts, while addressing the stakeholder needs of efficiency, agility, and client-centricity. The Annual Performance Indicator for the period under review was to implement 100% of Phase III of the three year ICT strategy as approved by Board. The ICT Strategy is aligned to the organisational five-year strategy. The 2022/23 financial year marked the end of the three-year ICT strategy that was approved by the Board. At the end of the financial year 100% of the overall targets was achieved albeit with challenges, as the contract of one of the key delivery partners had to be terminated early in the financial year due to non-performance.
