De Lille bids farewell to DPWI colleagues (South African Government News Agency)

Former Public Works and Infrastructure (DPWI) Minister Patricia de Lille, bids farewell to former colleagues at the department.

We can do a lot more to reach our full potential and create many more jobs for our people,” De Lille said. “Tourism is a major sector for our country and we have much more to offer the world. “DPWI has released 218 land parcels measuring 31 439 hectares for restitution. “I wish to thank the Chief Financial Officer of DPWI, Mr Mandla Sithole, and the Finance Department for their diligence on the 30-day payments and for successfully implementing the Reapatala payment system to ensure that we pay service providers on time and I encourage them to ensure that the department continues to do so,” De Lille said. “One of the key successes over the past three and a half years is that DPWI has maintained a record of reducing the number of overdue payments to service providers and recently managed to keep the on time 30-day payment rate above 95%,” De Lille said. “As I leave the DPWI, to serve South Africa in another capacity, I wish to thank the Acting Director-General, Dr Alec Moemi, and the staff in the department for their work and support during my time in DPWI,” De Lille said.
