Establishment of the Department . As it was a new Ministry, it was necessary for the Ministry to establish a basic infrastructure and staff support immediately after taking office. Accommodation was secured on the DTI Campus, Pretoria. A process of rapidly procuring furniture, telephones and office equipment was undertaken. Basic office supplies were also purchased for the new Ministry. Office accommodation was also secured in the Parliamentary precinct at 120 Plein Street. The Ministry appointed an Establishment Manager for the remainder of the financial year. Work on the Strategic Plan of the department started in June 2009. The final draft was completed in September 2009. The draft informed the organisational structure and the medium term expenditure framework (MTEF) budget of the Department. The Strategic Plan was tabled in Parliament on 03 March 2010 as required by Parliament in accordance with the Money Bills Amendment Procedure and Related Matters Act, 2009. The Minister held consultations with colleagues regarding the agencies that should report to EDD in view of its mandate.
