35-percent of senior managers in government do not have the required qualifications for their jobs

The DA in Parliament wants the Standing Committee on Public Accounts to investigate the fact that about 35-percent of senior managers in government do not have the required qualifications for their jobs. The Minister of Public Service and Administration revealed these alarming figures in a written response to a parliamentary question posed by the DA. The official opposition says this situation is a result of cadre deployment that ultimately results in South Africans receiving poor service delivery.
