News24 reports that the Department of Public Service and Administration (DPSA) is intent on bringing government employees doing business with the state to book.
At a briefing on Thursday, Home Affairs Minister Malusi Gigaba said the transitional period for public servants to declare their activities and choose a side was over. The 2016 public service regulations came into effect in August 2016, but the transitional period meant that employees doing business with an organ of state had until 1 January 2017 to make a decision to resign either from their business, or from government. The department is still compiling a list of employees who failed to comply with the new regulations. Once this process is completed, disciplinary processes will be instituted, the DPSA said on Thursday. Public Service Deputy Minister Ayanda Dlodo said failure to resign from either the business or government would not be taken lightly.
