The Minister for the Public Service and Administration, Inkosi Mzamo Buthelezi has officially released the Productivity Report commissioned by The Presidency in collaboration with the National School of Government. The report, titled “Productivity as a Frontier in the South African Public Service,” represents a landmark effort to assess and improve performance across all levels of the public sector.

The study was led by a multidisciplinary team of academics, supported by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) through the Sustainable Development Goals Initiative. The Productivity Report marks the first of its kind in the Government of National Unity to holistically examine the determinants, constraints, and comparative standing of public sector productivity.

“This report provides both awakening and inspiring insights,” said Minister Buthelezi.

“It shows where we lag behind, where we lead, and how we can turn the tide through coordinated reforms, innovation, and strengthened accountability”, added the Minister.
