Democratic Alliance Shadow Minister of Women, Children and People with Disabilities Helen Lamoela said 42% of positions at various levels within the Department of Women, Children and People with Disabilities have either never been filled or been left vacant for almost a year despite a R57 million salary allocations.

This came out of a parliamentary question from the DA. 

Lamoela said unacceptably lengthy vacancy periods for crucial strategic positions such as the Chief Director: Legal Services, Chief Director Strategic Management and Chief Director Resource Management as well as a vacant Human Resource Management Director’s post.

“Those are very crucial and important in the department these should have been filled seeing that we are now in the 50th of establishment of this Department,” Lamoela added.
