Based on its findings, the Committee recommended that Productivity South Africa should be allocated more funds for it to be more visible to other provinces. Owing to the seriousness of the challenge, the Committee committed itself to engage the Minister of Labour and the National Treasury to ensure that sufficient funds are allocated to the entity. In this regard, Productivity South Africa was requested to submit a business plan reflecting why funds were urgently required. The Committee was very concerned about the vacant post of Chief Executive Officer since 2009, and strongly advised the entity to expedite the process of appointment.
