It was just over three months ago, on 24 October 2010 (also a Sunday), when the Justice, Crime Prevention and Security Cluster (JCPS) Ministers jointly signed the Delivery Agreement with the President.

Statement following meeting between Government and SANEF leadership


29 October 2011

Engagement between government and South Africa’s news media should be directed towards assisting the country’s continuing transition from apartheid to democracy and building national pride and self-belief, without stifling critical public debate.

Government and media also have to establish and sustain mutual trust and respect for the roles these institutions play in consolidating the democracy envisioned in the Constitution.

Government on improvements to Presidency properties


20 October 2011

Government rejects suggestions that renovations to official residences and offices of the President of the Republic of South Africa are an extravagance or that they compromise social delivery.

Government is clear about the priorities facing the nation and invests appropriately in these priorities – with public works (the basis of a major job-creation drive), health and education together accounting for 70 percent of the national Budget.
