Public Sector Reform and the Quest for a Capable Public Service

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Representative Bureaucracy and Performance

Part of the book series: Executive Politics and Governance ((EXPOLGOV))

Abstract

The ANC views the bureaucracy as an indispensable tool for transforming society and redressing the harm caused by apartheid. This chapter begins by discussing major administrative reforms undertaken in South Africa since 1994 to create an integrated, capable, effective, representative, and accountable public service that responds to the needs and interests of all South Africans. The discussion then turns to ongoing administrative deficiencies and challenges facing the public service, many of which represent striking continuities from the apartheid era. The chapter ends with a discussion of the limits of administrative reform.

Notes

  1. 1.

    PALMS in based on representative samples of the South African population and includes probability weights, which are used for this analysis.

  2. 2.

    PALMS includes information on the job starting date for a respondent from 2000 to 2017, failing to capture the early years of transformation. It is quite possible that during the middle part of the 1990s when thousands of severance packages were being offered to apartheid-era appointees, average years in the current job declined.
