If this department were actually serious about improving service delivery a place to start is acting against those departments and municipalities that have high levels of wasteful expenditure and do not meet their performance but why are they not acting, it's their ANC cadres
But the failure of this department and the national planning commission not only represent government incompetence and lack of vision, but the broader failures of the NDP and the neoliberal project. The private sector cannot be relied upon to provide services. And this government's reliance on tenders is having a
negative impact on service delivery. Government must improve services, and must play a more direct role in the economy. This is the only way we will ensure effective service delivery, something this department has failed dismally.
In conclusion this Department was badly conceptualised and serves no real purpose. Trevor Manual's NDP has died so, it is time for this department to fade along with Mr Jackson Mthembu and the team
