#fasttrackingreform #StateCaptureCommission #ZondoCommission Thabang Motsohi agrees with Kieswetter that reform requires a clarity of purpose and ethical leadership. @anthonybut
Conference misses a key question, argues Motsohi. Apartheid was a system of exclusion. That is at the root of it. Post-apartheid challenge was to set a strategic intent to serve larger South Africa.
Social Justice and Equity are the key strategic challenges of the public service. We haven't achieved this because organisations are not 'fit for purpose'.
Fit for purpose is a state of mind. If we can define the purpose, then we can develop relevant solutions and actions.
In the Apartheid era purpose of SAA was connectivity - shaped the choice of planes. Cost and affordability not central questions. Post- apartheid purpose of SAA is different.
Building aprofessional public service as a strategic purpose will run up against the ANC that doesn't want it in practice. There is a disjuncture between Presidential statements and the backroom.
Constraints on reform are political
