POLITICAL NEWS - Public Service and Administration Minister Senzo Mchunu has confirmed, in a letter addressed to other members of the executive, premiers and MECs, that President Cyril Ramaphosa has approved a new 33-page guide for members of the executive.
The new guide went into effect on 8 June 2019 and will replace a ministerial handbook approved during Thabo Mbeki’s presidency in 2007.
The original guide has reportedly been subject to scrutiny and efforts to amend it were initiated by Jacob Zuma’s administration in 2011.
According to Independent Media, the new guide book is full of perks for members as it allows for things such as a larger support staff compliment and increased funding for security at their private homes.
