Foreword by <strong>the</strong> <strong>Premier</strong>The <strong>2009</strong>/10 financial year was a transition year, connecting<strong>the</strong> end <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> previous term <strong>of</strong> our government and <strong>the</strong> start<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> current term.During this period <strong>the</strong> primary focus <strong>of</strong> government wascompletion <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> 2004–<strong>2009</strong> programme <strong>of</strong> action andpreparing for <strong>the</strong> new term <strong>of</strong> government. As <strong>2009</strong> also marked<strong>the</strong> end <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> first fifteen years <strong>of</strong> freedom and democracy inSouth Africa, it was necessary to review <strong>the</strong> whole period to seehow <strong>the</strong> <strong>Gauteng</strong> Provincial Government had performed andhow <strong>the</strong> policies and programmes that it had implemented over<strong>the</strong> period had impacted on <strong>the</strong> lives <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> people.The 15-year review revealed that we have made remarkableprogress towards <strong>the</strong> vision <strong>of</strong> a better life for all. We have madegreat strides in creating conditions for a faster growing economythat creates jobs; in fighting poverty and building safe, secureand sustainable communities; in developing healthy, skilled andproductive people; in deepening democracy and realising <strong>the</strong>constitutional rights <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> people; and in building an effectiveand caring government. The review also pointed to some areas<strong>of</strong> weakness and to challenges relating to <strong>the</strong> organisationalstructure <strong>of</strong> government and long term planning.Addressing <strong>the</strong>se challenges and weaknesses required reviewing<strong>the</strong> configuration <strong>of</strong> political portfolios and departments, publicentities and departmental agencies, streng<strong>the</strong>ning <strong>the</strong> capacity<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Office</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Premier</strong> as <strong>the</strong> political nerve centre <strong>of</strong>government, and creating <strong>the</strong> capacity for long term planning.Most <strong>of</strong> this work was completed during <strong>the</strong> tenure <strong>of</strong> <strong>Premier</strong>Paul Mashatile, and I think credit is due to him for his visionaryand strategic leadership.At <strong>the</strong> beginning <strong>of</strong> our term <strong>of</strong> <strong>of</strong>fice we announced <strong>the</strong> newlyreconfigured political portfolios and started <strong>the</strong> reconfiguration<strong>of</strong> departments and public entities. We have completed <strong>the</strong>reorganisation <strong>of</strong> departments and appointed senior managementpersonnel to lead <strong>the</strong> departments. The reconfiguration has laida solid structural foundation and created an environment for<strong>the</strong> government to deliver on its developmental mandate. Thereconfigured <strong>Gauteng</strong> Government will transform <strong>the</strong> <strong>Gauteng</strong>public service towards a more performance oriented, outcomesdriven and people focused public service.The review <strong>of</strong> public entities has been completed and has led to<strong>the</strong> consolidation <strong>of</strong> all <strong>the</strong> existing entities in <strong>the</strong> Department <strong>of</strong>Economic Development into three entities to improve efficiency,and remove duplication and overlapping <strong>of</strong> functions. The <strong>Office</strong><strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Premier</strong> has been streng<strong>the</strong>ned to enable it to play itsrole as <strong>the</strong> political nerve centre providing strategic leadershipto <strong>the</strong> rest <strong>of</strong> government and ensuring that <strong>the</strong> entire <strong>Gauteng</strong>Provincial Government remains focused on implementing <strong>the</strong>programme <strong>of</strong> action.We have renewed <strong>the</strong> cabinet system to ensure that <strong>the</strong> ExecutiveCouncil drives strategy and policy formulation as well asimplementation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> programme <strong>of</strong> action. We have translated<strong>the</strong> mandate that we received from <strong>the</strong> people into clear strategicpriorities that will guide <strong>the</strong> government programme <strong>of</strong> actionfor <strong>the</strong> next five years. The government’s programme <strong>of</strong> actionhas been developed within <strong>the</strong> context <strong>of</strong> an outcomes-basedperformance management approach, which has been adoptedas a tool for improving government performance. The outcomesare:• Quality basic education• A long and healthy life for all South Africans• Decent employment through inclusive economic growth• All people in South Africa being and feeling safe• Vibrant, equitable and sustainable rural communities contributingtowards food security• Sustainable human settlements and improved quality <strong>of</strong>household lifeNOMVULA MOKONYANEGAUTENG PREMIER7


• A responsive, accountable, efficient and effective local government system• An efficient, effective and development oriented public service and an empowered, fair andinclusive citizenship.At <strong>the</strong> start <strong>of</strong> our term <strong>of</strong> <strong>of</strong>fice we had to deal with serious cash flow challenges created by avariety <strong>of</strong> factors including poor financial management and spending pressures associated with<strong>the</strong> end <strong>of</strong> a term <strong>of</strong> <strong>of</strong>fice. Our intervention ensured that government continues to function anddischarge its responsibilities including paying service providers on time. As part <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> interventionwe launched Operation Bhadala which revealed serious problems in procurement and paymentsystems. We have introduced strict measures to improve financial management and controls andwe have already seen great improvements in <strong>the</strong> past few months. These improvements are evidentin <strong>the</strong> Auditor General’s report on <strong>the</strong> financial statements <strong>of</strong> departments and public entities.Despite <strong>the</strong> problems and challenges that faced us in <strong>the</strong> transition period, through team work wehave been able to overcome <strong>the</strong> problems and work toge<strong>the</strong>r towards a new vision for <strong>Gauteng</strong> – a<strong>Gauteng</strong> that is working better and faster.NOMVULA MOKONYANEPREMIEROFFICE OF THE PREMIERGAUTENG8

With <strong>the</strong> focus <strong>of</strong>government on <strong>the</strong> following key areas, a great deal <strong>of</strong> work wentinto ensuring that all departmental plans and budgets were alignedto support <strong>the</strong>se priorities:• Quality basic education• A long and healthy life for all South Africans• All people in South Africa being and feeling safe• Decent employment through inclusive economic growth• Vibrant, equitable, sustainable rural communities contributingtowards food security for all• Sustainable human settlements and improved quality <strong>of</strong>household life• A responsive, accountable, effective and efficient localgovernment system.In addition, through a major institutional review process, all GPGdepartments initiated organisational reviews to ensure optimumefficiency in <strong>the</strong> resourcing <strong>of</strong> departmental mandates. In particular,a number <strong>of</strong> portfolios were merged and o<strong>the</strong>rs split as follows:• The Departments <strong>of</strong> Health and Social Development merged tobecome <strong>the</strong> Department <strong>of</strong> Health and Social Development• The Departments <strong>of</strong> Local Government and Housing merged t<strong>of</strong>orm <strong>the</strong> Department <strong>of</strong> Local Government and Housing• The <strong>Gauteng</strong> Treasury and <strong>the</strong> <strong>Gauteng</strong> Shared Service Centremerged to become <strong>the</strong> Department <strong>of</strong> Finance• The Department <strong>of</strong> Public Works, Roads and Transport split t<strong>of</strong>orm <strong>the</strong> Department <strong>of</strong> Roads and Transport and <strong>the</strong> Department<strong>of</strong> Infrastructure Development.1.3.2 Outputs and OutcomesBased on <strong>the</strong> fifteen-year review conducted at both national andprovincial levels, <strong>the</strong> <strong>Office</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Premier</strong> embraced a range <strong>of</strong>new mandates and increased resources to some existing ones.Critical to <strong>the</strong> process <strong>of</strong> embedding <strong>the</strong> new mandates at all levelsin <strong>the</strong> province has been <strong>the</strong> process <strong>of</strong> reviewing cabinet systemsto ensure that effective policy and decision-making processessupport <strong>the</strong> <strong>Premier</strong> and her Executive Council (EXCO) at <strong>the</strong> centre<strong>of</strong> government. Improving centralised planning was also a majorfocus in <strong>2009</strong>/10 with <strong>the</strong> establishment <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Gauteng</strong> PlanningCommission (GPC), <strong>the</strong> drafting <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Medium Term StrategicFramework (MTSF) for <strong>the</strong> province, and <strong>the</strong> development <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>Intergovernmental Programme <strong>of</strong> Action for <strong>2009</strong>/10, which givespractical expression to <strong>the</strong> MTSF.A wide range <strong>of</strong> strategies have also been reviewed in <strong>the</strong> <strong>2009</strong>/10financial year, with <strong>the</strong> <strong>Office</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Premier</strong> supporting criticalprocesses such as <strong>the</strong> development <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Gauteng</strong> Employment,Growth and Development Strategy (GEGDS) and also taking <strong>the</strong>lead in a range <strong>of</strong> areas including:• The development <strong>of</strong> an international relations framework for <strong>the</strong>province• The drafting <strong>of</strong> a new intergovernmental relations framework• The revision <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Gauteng</strong> Anti-Corruption and Ethics Strategy• The development <strong>of</strong> new policy to support targeted groupsincluding women, youth, people with disabilities and a newfocus area – military veterans.The <strong>Office</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Premier</strong> has continued to ensure that communicationwith <strong>the</strong> people <strong>of</strong> <strong>Gauteng</strong> remains high on <strong>the</strong> agenda with <strong>the</strong>regular publication <strong>of</strong> a range <strong>of</strong> media products to inform citizensMARGARET-ANN DIEDRICKSACTING DIRECTOR GENERAL9

The izimbizocampaign and economic opportunity roadshows have continued tobe critical avenues for face-to-face interactions with <strong>the</strong> public andmechanisms have been implemented to improve <strong>the</strong> documentationand tracking <strong>of</strong> issues raised. In addition, plans for <strong>the</strong> creation <strong>of</strong>a public liaison hotline for <strong>the</strong> province, which consolidates a range<strong>of</strong> similar services across provincial and local government wereapproved. This ushered in <strong>the</strong> development <strong>of</strong> a new integratedservice delivery mechanism for <strong>the</strong> entire province.Improving performance monitoring was a critical focus in <strong>the</strong><strong>2009</strong>/10 financial year, and <strong>the</strong> result has been a clean audit <strong>of</strong>performance information. In <strong>the</strong> year under review, <strong>the</strong> <strong>Office</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><strong>Premier</strong> approved strategic planning and performance informationmanagement policies, and also overhauled management structuresto improve performance reporting. Performance is managedthrough monthly reporting meetings and quarterly review sessionsas follows:<strong>Premier</strong> and <strong>the</strong> <strong>Gauteng</strong> ProvincialLegislature<strong>Premier</strong>Director General• <strong>Annual</strong> performance plan and <strong>the</strong> budget• Quarterly reports to <strong>the</strong> Legislature• <strong>Annual</strong> report to <strong>the</strong> legislature• Quarterly reports to <strong>the</strong> <strong>Gauteng</strong> Department <strong>of</strong>Finance• Quarterly performance reviews• Monthly performance reports• Quarterly review reports1.3.3 Expenditure ReviewIn <strong>the</strong> <strong>2009</strong>/10 financial year <strong>the</strong> <strong>Office</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Premier</strong> received anadjusted budget allocation <strong>of</strong> R 217 538 million, <strong>the</strong> bulk <strong>of</strong> whichcomprised compensation <strong>of</strong> employees in keeping with <strong>the</strong> nature<strong>of</strong> policy, research, facilitation and support work done by <strong>the</strong> <strong>Office</strong>.The <strong>Office</strong> spent approximately 98% <strong>of</strong> this allocation. The primaryreason for under-expenditure has been a delay in implementingcapital projects and slight under-expenditure in <strong>the</strong> goods andservices budgets.1.3.4 Organisational Transformation and DevelopmentIn 2008, under <strong>the</strong> leadership <strong>of</strong> former <strong>Premier</strong> Paul Mashatileand former Director General Mallele Petje, an organisationalreview process was initiated to ensure that <strong>the</strong> capacity <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><strong>Office</strong> could meet <strong>the</strong> anticipated demands <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> new mandate.This process continued in <strong>the</strong> <strong>2009</strong>/10 financial year, <strong>the</strong>rebyensuring alignment with <strong>the</strong> broader reconfiguration process <strong>of</strong><strong>the</strong> GPG. A new organisational structure has been developed, andwill be implemented in a phased manner over <strong>the</strong> Medium TermExpenditure Framework (MTEF).A critical focal point <strong>of</strong> organisational development and associatedprocesses has been <strong>the</strong> establishment <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Gauteng</strong> PlanningCommission (GPC), <strong>the</strong> appointment <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Commissioner, MrIgnatius Jacobs, <strong>the</strong> Head <strong>of</strong> Planning, Mr Sibusiso Xaba and<strong>the</strong> Head <strong>of</strong> Monitoring and Evaluation, Ms Benedicta Monama.The <strong>Office</strong> has improved its leadership capacity through <strong>the</strong>appointment <strong>of</strong> a Chief Operating <strong>Office</strong>r, who is currently also <strong>the</strong>acting Director General since <strong>the</strong> departure <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> former DirectorGeneral in October <strong>2009</strong>.1.3.5 ChallengesCritical challenges faced by <strong>the</strong> <strong>Office</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Premier</strong> in <strong>the</strong> <strong>2009</strong>/10financial year included:• Reconfiguring <strong>the</strong> <strong>Office</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Premier</strong> and <strong>the</strong> broader <strong>Gauteng</strong>Provincial Government to align resources and skills with <strong>the</strong> newmandate and managing <strong>the</strong> ongoing change processes• Fiscal constraints and cost cutting measures• Improving financial and performance reporting to improve onregularity audit outcomes10

In this new term, civil servants must be able to act speedily(“kuyasheshwa”) and be more responsive to <strong>the</strong> needs <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> public.Ano<strong>the</strong>r key consideration is <strong>the</strong> need to cut back on unnecessaryexpenditure in <strong>the</strong> context <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> recession and a decline in publicrevenue, and ensure that resources reach <strong>the</strong> point <strong>of</strong> service deliveryin communities and that <strong>the</strong>y have maximum impact.Given <strong>the</strong> changes in mandate and strategic posture highlightedabove, <strong>the</strong> <strong>Office</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Premier</strong> embarked on a reprioritisationexercise to align programmes and activities to <strong>the</strong> new priorities andalso to make resources available for new areas <strong>of</strong> work.The primary aim <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> reprioritisation process for <strong>the</strong> <strong>Office</strong> was to:• Support <strong>the</strong> assertion <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> political authority <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Premier</strong> andEXCO at <strong>the</strong> centre <strong>of</strong> government• Streng<strong>the</strong>n <strong>the</strong> centre to drive <strong>the</strong> implementation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> electoralmandate and strategic priorities• Play a key role in relation to planning, overseeing, driving,coordinating, monitoring and initiating corrective action inrelation to <strong>the</strong> electoral mandate, <strong>the</strong> short, medium and longtermstrategic priorities and <strong>the</strong> annual POA• Play a key role in building <strong>the</strong> developmental state.In addition, <strong>the</strong> reprioritisation was informed by <strong>the</strong> followingprinciples:• Commitment to building and participating in a caring andresponsive public service• Increased focus on accountability and transparency• Commitment to utilising public resources for <strong>the</strong> benefit <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>public and not for corrupt purposes, including in <strong>the</strong> conduct <strong>of</strong>procurement• Reviewing key policies and strategies to respond to new prioritiesand to improve implementation• Improving government systems, eliminating inefficiencies andduplication, and “doing more with less”.The process has resulted in <strong>the</strong> <strong>Office</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Premier</strong> focusing on:• Centralised planning including short, medium and long-rangeplanning through <strong>the</strong> GPC• Monitoring and evaluating government performance through<strong>the</strong> GPC• EXCO renewal and <strong>the</strong> cabinet communication system• Streng<strong>the</strong>ning government relations and partnerships• The service delivery renewal programme• Integrated programmes on vulnerable and targeted groupsincluding women, people with disabilities, youth and militaryveterans• Driving key public and community campaigns linked to priorities.The reprioritisation process also informed <strong>the</strong> realignment <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><strong>Office</strong>’s budget through <strong>the</strong> shifting <strong>of</strong> funds from <strong>Gauteng</strong> CityRegion (GCR) projects, <strong>the</strong> <strong>Premier</strong>’s Service Excellence Award projectand branding and marketing into <strong>the</strong> following areas:• The <strong>Gauteng</strong> Planning Commission18

3.2.3 Sub-Programme : Security Risk ManagementPurposeThe primary aim <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> directorate is to facilitate, coordinateand monitor security within <strong>the</strong> GPG, as well as to render andadminister <strong>the</strong> overall security functions <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Office</strong>. This involvesensuring <strong>the</strong> optimal management and provision <strong>of</strong> appropriatesecurity services to ensure <strong>the</strong> protection <strong>of</strong> government’s people,assets and information.• Rendering <strong>of</strong> security risk management and services to <strong>the</strong><strong>Office</strong>, GPG and EXCO to ensure a safe and secure environmentfor GPG• Ensure a safe and secure working environment in <strong>the</strong> <strong>Office</strong><strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Premier</strong> and <strong>the</strong> GPG and provide strategic security riskmanagement services for <strong>the</strong> GPG• Compliance with minimum information security standards (MISS)in GPG is achieved by conducting MISS awareness training,implementing physical security measures, developing policiesand operating procedures, conducting disaster planning andmonitoring and facilitating <strong>the</strong> same throughout <strong>the</strong> GPG• Monitoring and protection <strong>of</strong> state assets in <strong>the</strong> <strong>Office</strong> and <strong>the</strong>GPG are achieved by applying access control and guardingservices and monitoring incidents from a centralised securitycontrol room• The safety <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> executive is ensured by events planning andmonitoring and securing <strong>the</strong> residences <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Premier</strong> andmembers <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Executive• Ensuring incident free major GPG events and rendering escortduties for <strong>the</strong> President, Deputy President, <strong>Premier</strong>, and <strong>the</strong>Executive and delegations <strong>of</strong> foreign VIPs visiting <strong>the</strong> GPG• Maintaining and upgrading security systems.Measurable objectiveReduction <strong>of</strong> security incidents, breaches and a safe and secureenvironment in GPG.Service delivery objectives and indicatorsRendering security services in <strong>the</strong> GPG is essential in order to supportand provide a secure environment for <strong>the</strong> implementation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>electoral mandate. The emphasis <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> programme is on improving<strong>the</strong> delivery <strong>of</strong> security risk management services to <strong>the</strong> GPG.Information security is critical to effective governance and physicalsafety is a fundamental provision in <strong>the</strong> Constitution. Complianceto <strong>the</strong> MISS is <strong>the</strong>refore initiated and monitored by renderingawareness programmes to GPG staff. Occupational Health andSafety (OHS) compliance is ensured by disaster planning, whichincludes <strong>the</strong> implementation <strong>of</strong> minimum safety requirements,emergency signage, <strong>the</strong> appointment <strong>of</strong> emergency marshals and<strong>the</strong> development <strong>of</strong> emergency evacuation plans. A process tosubject all Senior Management Service (SMS) members in <strong>the</strong> GPGto security vetting was initiated in October <strong>2009</strong> with MISS awarenesssessions for all staff. The vetting process is comprehensive, involving<strong>the</strong> National Intelligence Agency and with very detailed and specificinformation requirements from <strong>the</strong> individuals being vetted. Whilesome progress was made in this regard, <strong>the</strong> reconfiguration processand <strong>the</strong> intense involvement <strong>of</strong> some departments in <strong>the</strong> preparationsfor <strong>the</strong> <strong>2010</strong> FIFA World Cup contributed to delays in submissions.A fur<strong>the</strong>r element is <strong>the</strong> development <strong>of</strong> a skills base for securityrisk management and ensuring compliance with governmentsecurity priorities. These initiatives include <strong>the</strong> implementation <strong>of</strong><strong>the</strong> standardised security policy for GPG including uniform securitymeasures and standards at all GPG sites (including guarding services,access control measures and procedures and security training).The monitoring and tracking <strong>of</strong> security incidents by <strong>the</strong> CentralSecurity Control Room and <strong>the</strong> appropriate deployment <strong>of</strong> a GPGJoint Security Response Unit to incidents forms an integral part <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>strategy. These activities exceed <strong>the</strong> target due to <strong>the</strong> fact that incidentsat Head <strong>Office</strong> and from GPG departments all over <strong>Gauteng</strong> arereported to <strong>the</strong> Central Security Control Room and channelled from<strong>the</strong>re to <strong>the</strong> relevant response units.Security Risk Management and Services is responsible for ensuring asafe and secure working environment for <strong>the</strong> <strong>Office</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Premier</strong>and coordinates <strong>the</strong> provision <strong>of</strong> security services for <strong>the</strong> GPG.

3.3.2 Sub-Programme: Information and CommunicationTechnologyPurposeTo enhance corporate services to support delivery on core mandatesby enhancing productivity and efficiencies through informationtechnology, institutional knowledge and facilities management.Measurable objective:The IT and e-Governance sub-programme in <strong>2009</strong>/10 aimed to:• Manage information and communications technologyinfrastructure and systems in <strong>the</strong> <strong>Office</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Premier</strong> andupgrade identified infrastructure• Manage buildings and o<strong>the</strong>r fixed structures• Implement business continuity and disaster recovery processes• Save on telecommunications costs in <strong>the</strong> <strong>Office</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Premier</strong>• Reconfigure <strong>of</strong>fice space to ensure adequate accommodationfor all staff• Manage records in accordance with <strong>the</strong> National Archives andRecords Service <strong>of</strong> South Africa Act, 1996 (Act No 43 <strong>of</strong> 1996)as amended.Service delivery objectives and indicators:Information technology is provided by <strong>the</strong> Sub-Sub-Programmewithin <strong>the</strong> <strong>Office</strong> as well as through <strong>of</strong>fsite services provided by<strong>the</strong> GSSC Branch within <strong>the</strong> <strong>Gauteng</strong> Department <strong>of</strong> Finance.The rendering <strong>of</strong> information technology services in <strong>the</strong> <strong>Office</strong> isessentially to support <strong>the</strong> user base with a reliable IT infrastructureand support services for <strong>the</strong> implementation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> electoralmandate. To this end <strong>the</strong> Sub-Sub Programme provides technicalsupport for hardware related problems as well as assistance withs<strong>of</strong>tware applications. To support this process <strong>the</strong> directorateacquired and implemented a call centre management tool toassist with logging and monitoring <strong>of</strong> IT technical incidents.To ensure that all hardware is at optimum functionality in <strong>the</strong> yearunder review an audit <strong>of</strong> IT hardware was conducted to ascertainits functionality and to advise on replacement. This process isintended to recommend bulk procurement <strong>of</strong> IT hardware as acost saving measure. Similarly an application was installed toassist with <strong>the</strong> auditing <strong>of</strong> s<strong>of</strong>tware applications on users’ pr<strong>of</strong>iles.This process is aimed at reducing license costs and usage <strong>of</strong>unauthorised s<strong>of</strong>tware. To fur<strong>the</strong>r support <strong>the</strong> drive for cost savingsin <strong>the</strong> <strong>Office</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Premier</strong>, a least cost routing system is beingimplemented to support cost containment measures related totelecommunications. This system facilitates telephone calls fromlandline to cellular telephone at significantly reduced costs. Toimprove <strong>the</strong> functionality <strong>of</strong> reception services and to provide<strong>the</strong> necessary backup system, a second switchboard has beeninstalled.In ensuring that <strong>the</strong> <strong>Office</strong> performs optimally <strong>the</strong> directorate hasembarked on a local area network (LAN) upgrade. The projecthas been scoped for <strong>the</strong> duration <strong>of</strong> three years and commencedin <strong>the</strong> <strong>2009</strong>/10 financial year. The first phase <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> project washampered by <strong>the</strong> possible relocation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Office</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Premier</strong>to alternate premises. In June <strong>2009</strong> <strong>the</strong> relocation processes wascancelled and <strong>the</strong> project was revived. To date two floors havebeen upgraded, facilitating significantly faster LAN connections forstaff on <strong>the</strong>se floors.Business continuity planning is critical in an organisation to ensurethat critical business processes are able to continue in <strong>the</strong> event<strong>of</strong> small service disruptions such as individual hardware loss or in<strong>the</strong> case <strong>of</strong> a disaster such as a fire which could destroy <strong>of</strong>fices,equipment etc. Given budget constraints in <strong>the</strong> <strong>2009</strong>/10 financialyear, <strong>the</strong> <strong>Office</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Premier</strong> developed internal capacity to draft<strong>the</strong> business continuity plan. In January <strong>2009</strong>, 19 <strong>of</strong>ficials from allprogrammes attended a training session. Subsequently a BusinessContinuity Framework for <strong>the</strong> <strong>Office</strong> has been drafted which putsin place strategies to engage with business continuity in a holisticand integrated manner.The <strong>Office</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Premier</strong> maintains a registry in terms <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> ArchivesAct <strong>of</strong> 1996. The registry is a critical component <strong>of</strong> knowledgemanagement processes. As part <strong>of</strong> a larger provincial initiative,<strong>the</strong> digitisation <strong>of</strong> critical archival material has been initiated. In<strong>the</strong> <strong>2009</strong>/10 financial year all human resource files have beendigitised to improve archiving efficiencies and to allow for disasterrecovery. The closing <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Gauteng</strong> Youth Commission (GYC) in<strong>2009</strong> led to <strong>the</strong> integration <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> staff and o<strong>the</strong>r resources into<strong>the</strong> <strong>Office</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Premier</strong>. All material from <strong>the</strong> GYC has beenarchived within <strong>the</strong> registry system and <strong>the</strong> staff accommodated byreconfiguring existing <strong>of</strong>fice space.39

3.4 Programme 3: Policy and GovernanceThe Policy and Governance Programme supports <strong>the</strong> <strong>Premier</strong> andEXCO with policy advice, planning, monitoring and evaluationas well as <strong>the</strong> appropriate coordination <strong>of</strong> transversal issues andbuilding capacity within GPG departments.Within <strong>the</strong> reporting period, <strong>the</strong> Policy and GovernanceProgramme’s focus included <strong>the</strong> finalisation <strong>of</strong> preparatory workfor <strong>the</strong> new term <strong>of</strong> <strong>of</strong>fice, which was presented to <strong>the</strong> outgoingExecutive Council in April <strong>2009</strong>. This work included:• The finalisation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Gauteng</strong> Provincial Government’sConsolidated Political Handover <strong>Report</strong>, which formed part <strong>of</strong> areview <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> provincial government’s performance in <strong>the</strong> 2004–<strong>2009</strong> term <strong>of</strong> <strong>of</strong>fice and since 1994• A draft strategic framework and key outcomes for <strong>Gauteng</strong> for<strong>the</strong> period <strong>2009</strong>–2014, based on <strong>the</strong> review <strong>of</strong> governmentperformance, research and analysis <strong>of</strong> key socio-economictrends, long-term visioning, community concerns and issues,and priorities and policy resolutions at a political level.In <strong>the</strong> period under review, <strong>the</strong> Programme has undertaken a majorrenewal and reform <strong>of</strong> strategic planning in <strong>the</strong> province with <strong>the</strong>intention <strong>of</strong> ensuring better performance and accountability in <strong>the</strong>achievement <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> political outcomes envisaged in <strong>the</strong> electoralmandate.Following <strong>the</strong> April <strong>2009</strong> elections, and based on <strong>the</strong> new electoralmandate and identified strategic priorities for <strong>the</strong> mandate period,<strong>the</strong> Programme’s focus was on <strong>the</strong> development <strong>of</strong> a MediumTerm Strategic Framework (MTSF) for <strong>Gauteng</strong> for <strong>the</strong> period<strong>2009</strong>–2014. This formed <strong>the</strong> basis for <strong>the</strong> development <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><strong>Gauteng</strong> intergovernmental Programme <strong>of</strong> Action for <strong>2009</strong>/10and a reprioritisation process within <strong>the</strong> provincial governmentand at local government level. A fur<strong>the</strong>r significant shift in strategicplanning took place with <strong>the</strong> introduction <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> national outcomesbasedapproach.Among <strong>the</strong> strategic shifts arising from <strong>the</strong> new strategic prioritieswhich impacted directly on <strong>the</strong> Programme were <strong>the</strong> following:• A stronger emphasis on centralised planning and improvinggovernment’s performance through more effective monitoringand evaluation• The renewal <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> cabinet system in <strong>the</strong> province, with <strong>the</strong><strong>Premier</strong> and <strong>the</strong> Executive Council as <strong>the</strong> engine <strong>of</strong> government• A commitment to forge partnerships between government andcivil society in advancing <strong>the</strong> strategic objectives <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> province.A fur<strong>the</strong>r development impacting on <strong>the</strong> Programme was <strong>the</strong>closing <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Gauteng</strong> Youth Commission in <strong>the</strong> context <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>National Youth Development Agency Act, 2008 (Act No. 54 <strong>of</strong>2008).The Policy and Governance Programme consists <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> followingBudget Sub-Programmes and Sub-Sub-Programmes:• Provincial Policy Management, including <strong>the</strong> <strong>Gauteng</strong> PlanningCommission, Monitoring and Evaluation, Cabinet Support,Targeted Groups and Partnerships.• Intergovernmental Relations, including IntergovernmentalRelations, International Relations and aspects <strong>of</strong> Service DeliveryRenewal.3.4.1 Sub-Programme: <strong>Gauteng</strong> Planning CommissionPurposeTo ensure effective and efficient short to long-term central planning<strong>of</strong> government work.Measurable Objectives• Establishment <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> GPC• Establishment <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Advisory Council• Centralised strategic planning• Spatial planning• Short term planning (<strong>2009</strong>–2014)• Launch and completion <strong>of</strong> Vision 2055• Research and benchmarking• Policy development.Service Delivery Objectives and IndicatorsThe establishment <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Gauteng</strong> Planning Commission (GPC)arose from <strong>the</strong> previous term <strong>of</strong> <strong>of</strong>fice <strong>of</strong> government and <strong>the</strong>identified need to ensure more effective integrated and centralisedplanning in <strong>Gauteng</strong>, within <strong>the</strong> provincial government, acrossspheres <strong>of</strong> government and in cooperation with key social sectors.58


In <strong>the</strong> period under review <strong>the</strong> functions <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> GPC have beencarried out under <strong>the</strong> leadership <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> newly appointed GPC<strong>of</strong>ficials, working with <strong>the</strong> Policy and Governance Branch in <strong>the</strong><strong>Office</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Premier</strong>, toge<strong>the</strong>r with o<strong>the</strong>r relevant componentswithin <strong>the</strong> GPG. A central focus has been on a province-widerealignment <strong>of</strong> government programmes and allocation <strong>of</strong>resources in line with <strong>the</strong> <strong>2009</strong> electoral mandate and strategicpriorities.The achievements <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Sub-Programme including <strong>the</strong> following:• Establishment <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Gauteng</strong> Planning CommissionThe GPC has been established and is operational, with Phase1 <strong>of</strong> its establishment underway. Three key appointments havebeen made, namely, <strong>the</strong> <strong>Gauteng</strong> Planning Commissioner, <strong>the</strong>Head <strong>of</strong> Planning and <strong>the</strong> Head <strong>of</strong> Monitoring and Evaluation.The GPC had a budget allocation and work has been undertakento finalise <strong>the</strong> organisational form that it will take, as well as <strong>the</strong>staff establishment, budgets etc. Much <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> technical supportin <strong>the</strong> Commission’s work has been provided by <strong>the</strong> Policy andGovernance Branch <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> OOP in relation to strategic planningand by DED with respect to spatial planning.• Establishment <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Advisory CouncilThe establishment <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> GPC Advisory Council was intended tohelp ensure that <strong>the</strong> short to long-term planning undertaken by<strong>the</strong> GPC as well as <strong>the</strong> resulting <strong>Gauteng</strong> Plan would represent <strong>the</strong>perspectives <strong>of</strong> a range <strong>of</strong> civil society sectors. The establishment <strong>of</strong><strong>the</strong> Advisory Council has also taken cognisance <strong>of</strong> developments ata national level in relation to <strong>the</strong> National Planning Commission.Within <strong>the</strong> reporting period a proposal on <strong>the</strong> Advisory Councilwas completed for consideration.• Centralised strategic planningA wide range <strong>of</strong> provincial strategic planning work has beenundertaken in line with <strong>the</strong> government planning cycle and <strong>the</strong>new outcomes based approach. This has been characterised by aperiod <strong>of</strong> transition from <strong>the</strong> previous term <strong>of</strong> <strong>of</strong>fice <strong>of</strong> governmentto <strong>the</strong> current term <strong>of</strong> <strong>of</strong>fice and has entailed shifts in both strategicposture and methodology. In preparation for <strong>the</strong> new term <strong>of</strong><strong>of</strong>fice <strong>of</strong> government, a draft <strong>Gauteng</strong> 2014 strategic plan wasdeveloped and presented to <strong>the</strong> Executive Council in April <strong>2009</strong>.Following <strong>the</strong> April <strong>2009</strong> elections and based on <strong>the</strong> new electoralmandate and <strong>the</strong> strategic posture <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> new government,strategic priorities for <strong>the</strong> five-year term <strong>of</strong> <strong>of</strong>fice were presentedto an Extended Executive Council Lekgotla in June <strong>2009</strong>, whichwas attended by both <strong>the</strong> provincial Executive and <strong>the</strong> province’sExecutive Mayors. These deliberations formed <strong>the</strong> basis for <strong>the</strong>development <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Gauteng</strong> Medium Term Strategic Frameworkfor <strong>2009</strong>–2014 and <strong>the</strong> <strong>Gauteng</strong> Intergovernmental Programme<strong>of</strong> Action (POA) for <strong>2009</strong>/10.This fur<strong>the</strong>r formed <strong>the</strong> basis for a reprioritisation processthroughout <strong>the</strong> provincial government and municipalities, whichwas facilitated and coordinated by <strong>the</strong> Programme. By August<strong>2009</strong>, all GPG departments had presented <strong>the</strong>ir reprioritised plansto <strong>the</strong> Executive Council for consideration and adoption. A similarprocess was coordinated at a local government level, includingthrough <strong>the</strong> <strong>Premier</strong>’s Coordination Forum Technical Committee.In September <strong>2009</strong>, in line with <strong>the</strong> planning cycle, ano<strong>the</strong>rExtended Executive Council Lekgotla was held to fur<strong>the</strong>r consolidateintergovernmental planning for <strong>2009</strong>/10 in line with <strong>the</strong> strategicpriorities and to identify priorities for <strong>2010</strong>/11. This Lekgotlaincluded critical presentations by <strong>the</strong> Minister in <strong>the</strong> Presidency,Collins Chabane, on <strong>the</strong> new approach to performance monitoringand evaluation and <strong>the</strong> outcomes-based approach, as well ason <strong>the</strong> draft <strong>Gauteng</strong> Employment Growth and DevelopmentStrategy, <strong>Gauteng</strong>’s response to <strong>the</strong> recession, <strong>the</strong> draft DecentWork Framework and local government priorities.In addition to being adopted by <strong>the</strong> Executive Council, <strong>the</strong> intergovernmentalpriorities emerging from <strong>the</strong> September <strong>2009</strong>Lekgotla were presented to <strong>the</strong> decision-making structures <strong>of</strong> localgovernment by <strong>the</strong> GPC. The <strong>2009</strong>/10 POA was fur<strong>the</strong>r refinedbased on <strong>the</strong> outcomes <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Lekgotla.One <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> most important shifts in strategic planning and <strong>the</strong>management <strong>of</strong> government’s performance has been <strong>the</strong>introduction <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> national outcomes-based approach within<strong>the</strong> province. Based on <strong>the</strong> refinement <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> outcomes-basedapproach at a national level, <strong>the</strong> GPC began to introduce <strong>the</strong>approach at a provincial level towards <strong>the</strong> end <strong>of</strong> <strong>2009</strong>. Following<strong>the</strong> decisions <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> January <strong>2010</strong> national Cabinet Lekgotla,59


a process was coordinated within <strong>the</strong> provincial governmentto develop “Outcomes Plans” in relation to <strong>the</strong> 5+2 countryoutcomes, which were discussed and adopted subject to fur<strong>the</strong>rrefinement at a Special Exco Lekgotla in February <strong>2010</strong>. TheseOutcomes Plans aimed to identify <strong>the</strong> province’s contributionto <strong>the</strong> achievement <strong>of</strong> each <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> 5+2 national outcomes and,in particular, to identify <strong>the</strong> appropriate outputs, indicators and2014 targets, key activities and dependencies in <strong>the</strong> achievement<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>se outcomes. This process fur<strong>the</strong>r enhanced <strong>the</strong> process <strong>of</strong>developing MTSF indicators and targets.The period under review also included preparations for <strong>the</strong> April<strong>2010</strong> Extended Executive Council Lekgotla to initiate planning for<strong>the</strong> 2011/12 period to <strong>the</strong> end <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> current term <strong>of</strong> <strong>of</strong>fice <strong>of</strong>national and provincial government, a period which also marks<strong>the</strong> end <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> current term <strong>of</strong> <strong>of</strong>fice <strong>of</strong> local government and <strong>the</strong>commencement <strong>of</strong> a new local government term in 2011.To fur<strong>the</strong>r contribute to centralised planning, and to enhanceintegration and alignment across spheres <strong>of</strong> government in <strong>the</strong>province in pursuit <strong>of</strong> common developmental objectives andpriorities, <strong>the</strong> GPC has also worked on <strong>the</strong> alignment <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> IDPprocess with <strong>the</strong> provincial planning cycle.Fur<strong>the</strong>r, as part <strong>of</strong> improving centralised planning, support wasprovided for <strong>the</strong> provincial budgeting process, to assist in ensuringthat budgets are reprioritised and allocated in line with <strong>the</strong> strategicpriorities for <strong>the</strong> term and <strong>the</strong> POA.• Spatial planningThe <strong>Gauteng</strong> Integrated Development Plan (GIDP), Phases 1 and2 <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Gauteng</strong> Spatial Development Framework (GSDF) and <strong>the</strong>geographic information systems model have been developed. TheGSDF includes <strong>the</strong> review <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Gauteng</strong> urban edge.• Short-term planningIn line with <strong>the</strong> new electoral mandate, a process was embarkedupon to develop <strong>the</strong> provincial Medium Term Strategic Framework(MTSF) that would give effect to <strong>the</strong> new mandate. A reprioritisationprocess was also undertaken to ensure that all provincialprogrammes and projects are aligned to <strong>the</strong> electoral mandateand <strong>the</strong> MTSF. Based on <strong>the</strong> MTSF, an Intergovernmental POA for<strong>2009</strong>/10 was developed and adopted by EXCO. The POA wasfur<strong>the</strong>r revised to take into consideration emerging priorities andadopted by EXCO. In preparation for <strong>the</strong> <strong>2010</strong>/11 financial year,a draft POA has also been developed.• Launch and completion <strong>of</strong> Vision 2055The draft <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Gauteng</strong> Vision 2055 document has beencompleted. The process included stakeholder participationfrom various sectors in <strong>the</strong> province. To kick-start <strong>the</strong> publicparticipation phase <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> development <strong>of</strong> Vision 2055, a SchoolEssay Competition was held, titled G2055 “My Future, My Vision”.The competition targeted youth, in particular learners from various<strong>Gauteng</strong> public and private schools in Grades 6-12. The learnerswere requested to submit essays <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>ir vision <strong>of</strong> <strong>Gauteng</strong> in2055. A Grade 6 Learner who won <strong>the</strong> competition was awardedwith a trophy.• Research and BenchmarkingA number <strong>of</strong> key initiatives have been undertaken to benchmark<strong>Gauteng</strong> against its own future progress, o<strong>the</strong>r provinces and cityregions globally. These include <strong>the</strong> setting <strong>of</strong> targets for <strong>the</strong> 2014outcomes as well as <strong>the</strong> completion <strong>of</strong> a major quality <strong>of</strong> life survey(QOL) through <strong>the</strong> <strong>Gauteng</strong> City Region Observatory. The surveyenables <strong>the</strong> benchmarking <strong>of</strong> key socio-economic indicators at alocalised and province-wide level and will enable a more effectiveevaluation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> impact <strong>of</strong> key programmes. It was presented to<strong>the</strong> <strong>Gauteng</strong> Executive Council.A major research and benchmarking exercise has been initiatedin <strong>the</strong> form <strong>of</strong> an OECD Territorial Review, which provides afirm basis for <strong>the</strong> evaluation <strong>of</strong> key socio-economic indicatorsand comparisons with o<strong>the</strong>r metropolitan regions globally. TheExecutive Council has approved a proposal in this regard and <strong>the</strong>first mission <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> OECD Secretariat responsible for <strong>the</strong> reviewwas undertaken in February <strong>2010</strong>. The review will draw on bothlocal and international expertise.The report on <strong>the</strong> latest developments in relation to keyperformance indicators for <strong>the</strong> period 2004–<strong>2009</strong> was developedand independently evaluated.60


• Policy DevelopmentPolicy review and development work has been undertaken on an ongoing basis in <strong>the</strong> periodunder review and has been integrally linked to strategic planning, <strong>the</strong> monitoring and evaluation <strong>of</strong>government performance and <strong>the</strong> new Cabinet system in <strong>the</strong> province.The review <strong>of</strong> government performance in <strong>the</strong> previous term <strong>of</strong> <strong>of</strong>fice and planning for <strong>Gauteng</strong> 2014and <strong>Gauteng</strong> 2055 entailed a broad policy review process.

Thishas paved <strong>the</strong> way for a more streamlined and coordinatedapproach to monitoring, evaluation and reporting on governmentperformance. This will fur<strong>the</strong>r enhance <strong>the</strong> ability <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> GPGto effectively monitor performance and expenditure in line withstrategic priorities and embed <strong>the</strong> government’s outcomes basedapproach within <strong>the</strong> provincial government. A draft M&E systemwas developed pending <strong>the</strong> finalisation and adoption <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> M&Eframework.• Developing Medium Term Strategic Framework targets andindicatorsThe <strong>Gauteng</strong> MTSF <strong>2009</strong>-14 was developed to ensure <strong>the</strong>realisation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> electoral mandate. Its development entailed <strong>the</strong>identification <strong>of</strong> provincial priorities, programmes and activities thatwould be undertaken to ensure <strong>the</strong>ir achievement. In consultationwith GPG departments, targets and indicators to measure progresswere also identified and <strong>the</strong>se are being monitored on an ongoingbasis.• Impact studiesThe evaluation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> impact <strong>of</strong> provincial programmes on <strong>the</strong>lives <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> people <strong>of</strong> <strong>Gauteng</strong> is <strong>of</strong> vital importance. In this regard,a process to identify areas for analysis was embarked upon. Threeprogrammes, namely <strong>the</strong> FIFA World Cup, Expanded Public WorksProgramme and <strong>the</strong> War on Poverty were identified. Motivationson <strong>the</strong> impact studies to be conducted were developed. Terms <strong>of</strong>reference for <strong>the</strong> impact study related to <strong>the</strong> FIFA World Cup weredeveloped. In addition, an independent technical assessment <strong>of</strong><strong>the</strong> proposed G-Link programme, including its projected impact,was undertaken.training was conducted over a period <strong>of</strong> seven months andempowered <strong>of</strong>ficials with M&E knowledge ranging from basic toadvanced levels. Post training assessment gave positive feedbackon <strong>the</strong> training.• Monitoring <strong>the</strong> annual Programme <strong>of</strong> ActionSteadfast and consistent reporting on <strong>the</strong> progress <strong>the</strong> provincialgovernment is making in implementing <strong>the</strong> POA has ensured thatimplementation challenges are identified early to enable timelyintervention. Monthly reporting on <strong>the</strong> implementation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><strong>2009</strong>/10 POA was done to keep EXCO abreast <strong>of</strong> progress.• Monitoring <strong>of</strong> annual Programme <strong>of</strong> Action and flagship projectsMonthly reporting on <strong>the</strong> implementation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>2009</strong>/10 POA wasdone based on information provided by departments. The reportshave assisted in identifying implementation challenges to enabletimely interventions to be made. Compliance and <strong>the</strong> depth <strong>of</strong>reporting on <strong>the</strong> implementation <strong>of</strong> GPG programs by departmentshas improved over <strong>the</strong> period under review. These reports, alongwith o<strong>the</strong>rs, were used to monitor progress on implementing <strong>the</strong>POA. In addition to monthly reports, an End <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Year <strong>Report</strong>was developed on implementation progress covering <strong>the</strong> periodbetween June and December <strong>2009</strong>. A comprehensive M&E reportand analysis <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>2009</strong>/10 POA to <strong>the</strong> end <strong>of</strong> January <strong>2010</strong> wasprepared and presented at <strong>the</strong> February <strong>2010</strong> EXCO Lekgotla.• Monitoring and evaluation <strong>of</strong> special programmes in support <strong>of</strong>youth, women, people with disabilities and military veteransAs part <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> revision and development <strong>of</strong> policy frameworks foryouth, women, people with disabilities and military veterans drafttargets and indicators were developed.

GAUTENG OFFICE OF THE PREMIER - VOTE 1REPORT OF THE ACCOUNTING OFFICERfor <strong>the</strong> year ended 31 March <strong>2010</strong>1. IntroductionThe priorities, activities and outputs <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Office</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Premier</strong>, and <strong>the</strong> <strong>Gauteng</strong> Provincial Government as a whole were pr<strong>of</strong>oundlyinfluenced by <strong>the</strong> new term <strong>of</strong> <strong>of</strong>fice under <strong>the</strong> leadership <strong>of</strong> <strong>Premier</strong> Nomvula Mokonyane. The new service delivery ethos “kuyasheshwa”and recognition <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> need to change <strong>the</strong> institutional landscape <strong>of</strong> provincial government led to:• The restructuring <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Gauteng</strong> Provincial Government and organisational review processes in all departments.• The development <strong>of</strong> a new Medium Term Strategic Framework (MTSF) and Intergovernmental Programme <strong>of</strong> Action (POA) for<strong>2009</strong>/10.• Reprioritisation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>2009</strong>/10 budget allocations to make provision for new priorities and programmes.In line with <strong>the</strong>se new imperatives, <strong>the</strong> <strong>Office</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Premier</strong> has <strong>the</strong> following mandate:• Centralised strategic and spatial planning to achieve <strong>the</strong> objectives <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> new mandate.• Monitoring and evaluation to ensure improved service delivery and improved governance.• Streng<strong>the</strong>ning <strong>the</strong> cabinet system to assert <strong>the</strong> political authority <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Premier</strong> and <strong>the</strong> Executive Council at <strong>the</strong> centre <strong>of</strong>government.• Improved policy research and advisory services to support governance and monitoring and evaluation.• Facilitation <strong>of</strong> intergovernmental relations to ensure greater collaboration and alignment across all spheres <strong>of</strong> government.• Co-ordinating service delivery in support <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> new mandate.• Leading and facilitation efforts to prevent corruption and ensure state accountability and transparency.• Improving relations between government and its stakeholders at all levels and <strong>the</strong> development <strong>of</strong> partnerships in line withstrategic priorities.The <strong>Office</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Premier</strong>, as <strong>the</strong> political nerve centre <strong>of</strong> government was a driver <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> change, particularly in respect to planningfor <strong>the</strong> new term <strong>of</strong> <strong>of</strong>fice and also facilitating a transversal reconfiguration and change management process across <strong>the</strong> GPG. AChange Management Project Team, under <strong>the</strong> leadership <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Office</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Premier</strong> developed and oversaw <strong>the</strong> implementation<strong>of</strong> a reconfiguration framework and <strong>the</strong> development <strong>of</strong> a consultative process with organised labour that lead to a Labour RelationsFramework to guide <strong>the</strong> management <strong>of</strong> labour relations matters in <strong>the</strong> reconfiguration process.In addition, <strong>the</strong> <strong>Gauteng</strong> Planning Commission (GPC) was established under <strong>the</strong> auspices <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Office</strong> to champion a new planningframework for <strong>the</strong> province which integrates spatial planning, strategic planning, monitoring and evaluation, research and policydevelopment. The Commissioner, Mr Ignatius Jacobs and <strong>the</strong> Heads <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Gauteng</strong> Planning Commission and Head <strong>of</strong> Monitoringand Evaluation were appointed to provide <strong>the</strong> necessary strategic leadership to develop <strong>the</strong> concept documents for <strong>the</strong> GPC whilesimultaneously developing <strong>the</strong> POA for <strong>2010</strong>/2011 and embedding <strong>the</strong> outcomes-based approach to planning and monitoring whichwas approved by Cabinet early in <strong>2010</strong>.81


A critical focus <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>2009</strong>/10 financial year was <strong>the</strong> renewal <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> cabinet system and <strong>the</strong> development <strong>of</strong> capacity in <strong>the</strong> <strong>Office</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><strong>Premier</strong> to improve cabinet processes. A new organisational structure has been submitted to <strong>the</strong> <strong>Premier</strong> for consideration that encompassesadditional capacity for cabinet support services, intergovernmental relations and communication services. The structure was developed toensure that <strong>the</strong> <strong>Office</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Premier</strong> has <strong>the</strong> capacity to fulfil <strong>the</strong> following mandates:In concert with <strong>the</strong> increasing focus on monitoring and evaluation at national level, spearheaded by <strong>the</strong> new Ministry <strong>of</strong> Monitoring andEvaluation, <strong>the</strong> <strong>Office</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Premier</strong> drafted a new policy framework for monitoring and evaluation in <strong>the</strong> province and also continued tosubmit regular reports to <strong>the</strong> Executive Council documenting progress on <strong>the</strong> implementation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> new Programme <strong>of</strong> Action.Communication with <strong>the</strong> people <strong>of</strong> <strong>Gauteng</strong> has been a critical function <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Office</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Premier</strong> over <strong>the</strong> years and <strong>2009</strong>/10 was nodifferent. The izimbizo campaigns, which have been a feature <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> work <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Office</strong> for many years continued, providing opportunitiesfor direct face-to-face interactions between <strong>the</strong> Executive Council and communities. The events, along with numerous publications such as<strong>the</strong> <strong>Annual</strong> Service Directory and regular updating <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> GPG portal have ensured that <strong>the</strong> citizens <strong>of</strong> <strong>Gauteng</strong> remain empowered throughinformation and informed about government services. Numerous success campaigns were also held including <strong>the</strong> State <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> ProvinceAddress in February <strong>2010</strong> and Mandela Day.The <strong>2009</strong>/10 financial year also saw significant changes to <strong>the</strong> institutional landscape in support <strong>of</strong> targeted groups. The <strong>Gauteng</strong> YouthCommission that was transferred to <strong>the</strong> <strong>Office</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Premier</strong> from <strong>the</strong> Department <strong>of</strong> Sport, Arts, Culture and Recreation was disestablished in<strong>2009</strong>/10. To ensure greater attention to issues <strong>of</strong> gender, youth, people with disabilities and a new area <strong>of</strong> work, military veterans, Members<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Executive Council were appointed as champions and staff and resources have been seconded to <strong>the</strong>se <strong>of</strong>fice bearers. Notwithstanding<strong>the</strong>se changes, in <strong>2009</strong>/10 <strong>the</strong> <strong>Office</strong> reviewed policies on gender, youth and people with disabilities for submission to <strong>the</strong> Executive Council.To enhance international relations, a review <strong>of</strong> sisterhood agreements was conducted and an International Relations Framework, specificallyaligned to <strong>the</strong> Programme <strong>of</strong> Action was developed and approved by ExCo. In addition, a framework for improving <strong>the</strong> monitoringand reporting <strong>of</strong> international trips was also approved. Intergovernmental Relations was also a focus in <strong>the</strong> year under review. A draftIntergovernmental Relations Framework has been developed in accordance with <strong>the</strong> outcomes <strong>of</strong> a summit on <strong>the</strong> matter.With regard to transversal human resource management in <strong>the</strong> GPG, a wide range <strong>of</strong> policies in support <strong>of</strong> improving human resourcedevelopment practice across <strong>the</strong> <strong>Gauteng</strong> Provincial Government have been developed:• Abscondment• Employment Equity• Succession and RetentionDetails <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>se projects are reported in <strong>the</strong> <strong>Annual</strong> <strong>Report</strong> under <strong>the</strong> programme performance.1.1 ExpenditureFinancial Year Final appropriation Actual Variance VarianceR’000 R’000 R’000 R’000 %2007/08 120,314 111,735 8,579 9.52008/09 206,417 216,941 (10,524) (105,1)<strong>2009</strong>/10 217,538 212,985 4,553 2.0982

The programme is carried out in conjunction with all stakeholders in <strong>the</strong> <strong>of</strong>fice and staff members are also appointedto perform marshalling functions for first aid, fire and evacuation purposes. The <strong>of</strong>fice is compliant with <strong>the</strong> prescripts <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> OH &SA, but anumber <strong>of</strong> challenges were experienced in relation to:1) Fire and evacuation systems being affected by renovations and construction work in <strong>the</strong> <strong>of</strong>fice. This caused a number <strong>of</strong> concerns interms <strong>of</strong> dust and sensing equipment. These necessitated contingency measures to counter <strong>the</strong>se unintended consequences such asre-scheduling construction work and contingency measures to deal with affected sensing fire equipment.2) Response times <strong>of</strong> emergency medical services, in particular challenges around response times for ambulance services during peaktimes. The response is slow and outside <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> set standards due to traffic congestion in and around Johannesburg. The directorateSecurity Risk Management & Services is pursuing alternate arrangements via <strong>the</strong> department <strong>of</strong> Health & Social Development to ensurea standby emergency medical service for <strong>the</strong> GPG precinct.87

New/proposed activities<strong>Gauteng</strong> Planning Commission (GPC) was established during <strong>the</strong> year under review in synergy with <strong>the</strong> National Planning Commission. TheGPC will be doing late range planning in line with <strong>the</strong> NPC. The White Paper on Strategic Planning process <strong>of</strong> each province will contribute it’splans to <strong>the</strong> National Planning Commission to ensure synergy and as <strong>Gauteng</strong>’s contribution to <strong>the</strong> National Strategic Plan.11. Asset ManagementDuring <strong>the</strong> year under review, <strong>the</strong> <strong>Office</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Premier</strong> entered into a maintenance contract for <strong>the</strong> Assetware system with <strong>the</strong> supplierTat I-Chain to ensure that <strong>the</strong> system will work without any hindrance. This step was taken as a measure to reinforce <strong>the</strong> dependablesystems already established and implemented in this important function.The dependability <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> systems was fur<strong>the</strong>r proven when <strong>the</strong> now-defunct <strong>Gauteng</strong> Youth Commission (GYC) was dissolved and allits assets were transferred to <strong>the</strong> <strong>Office</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Premier</strong>. The integration <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>se assets and <strong>the</strong>ir reallocation for use by <strong>the</strong> <strong>Office</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><strong>Premier</strong> went on smoothly and was all successfully recorded in <strong>the</strong> Asset register. This exercise proved that <strong>the</strong> systems adopted in <strong>the</strong>unit were both reliable and dependable.12.
