Hon Chairperson, the
answer to this question is: There are currently seven commissioners out of 10 appointed to the Defence Force Service Commission. The advertisement calling for the filling of the three vacancies closed on 15 August 2019. The process of appointing additional
commissioners in accordance to the Defence Act is currently underway.
Section 62(f) of the Defence Act provides that the commission must meet at least twice a year and it stipulates that only six members are required for a quorum. As indicated above, the commission currently has seven serving members. The current members of the commission are: Acting Chair Robertson, Prof Mogoba, Ms Hlapolosa, Mr Jongile, Dr Zulu, Adv Khumalo and Dr Essop.
The recommendations of the Defence Force Service Commission have been accepted; however most of them have serious financial implications, since they relate to the general improvement of the conditions of service of our members. Yes. Thanks Chair.
