Minister Zokwana has a signed performance agreement that is translated into a Medium Term Strategic Framework for a 5years period. This is broken down into an annual performance plan.
These documents form the basis of the department being held accountable by Parliament on a quarterly basis and also held accountable by the public. The performance agreement of the Minister is therefore publicly assessed through the Portfolio Committees on a regular basis.
Additionally, the Public Finance Management Act (PFMA) compels all the Executing Authorities to subject their departmental expenditure to the Auditor General. This again is a measure that ensure full accountability to the public funds.
