BDLive reports that the Limpopo provincial government might soon review the stringent controls on its payroll, allowing the various departments to take charge of their recruitment requirements.
The present policy, which prevents MECs from making their own appointments and then accounting for them later, could be reversed at a provincial executive council scheduled for later in September. Public sector unions in the province had threatened to go on strike in September over numerous grievances, including the centralisation of appointments to the provincial treasury as well as the continued failure to implement a performance-based bonus system with uniform criteria. The provincial government agreed on Thursday to develop a provincial framework for performance-based bonuses by the end of September.
