Peters calls on transport entities to adopt 100 days programme
Transport Minister Dipuo Peters on Wednesday urged South Africa’s twelve State-owned transport entities to adopt government’s 100 days programme and to immediately pronounce on tangible deliverables, raise their intake of youth participation in their programmes and ensure that young people with requisite skills in the workplace get opportunities to occupy senior management positions.
At a meeting aimed at reaffirming the entities’ commitment to the department’s mandate, the Minister also urged the parties to ensure that their broad-based black economic-empowerment verification statuses were in order by September this year.
Quoting from President Jacob Zuma’s inaugural speech, she referred to the entities as "engines of development, complementing the State in promoting inclusive economic growth”.
The adoption of the National Development Plan (NDP) also came into sharp focus at the meeting, with entities showing commitment to centring their strategic and annual performance plans around the NDP.
Peters further made a strong call to all entities to show solidarity in their work when it came to road safety, which would lead to a reduction in fatal crashes, and in turn, bring huge savings to the country, that could be channelled to areas of serious need.
“But most importantly, it would bring huge relief to human suffering and long-term emotional and psychological scars to affected families,” she said.
Peters also noted that for the 2013/14 financial year, all the entities in the Department of Transport received clean audits and called on them not to drop their guard.
