REPLY:
The Minister of Transport:
Yes, a Ministerial Special Advisor was appointed on 12 February 2010
in terms of section 12A of the Public Service Act, 1994 (Act No 103 of
1994). The Special Advisor, however, transferred to another
department on the 1st October 2011. I therefore do not have a Special
Advisor at present.
