“I wish to take this time to congratulate Mr Ramong on his appointment as a Director for Labour. On my arrival in this department l indicated that all budgeted vacant posts should be filled. This is the first senior post l have filled up while others are still at advertisement stage. I called for a meeting with Human Resources Management team to instruct them to fill up all the vacant posts in the department. We have also advertised posts for Administration Assistants and General Assistants at school level which were vacant for years.

“During my engagements with principals l told them that anyone who is not ready to work should resign. Now we are busy filling up vacant positions which existed for many years, without any favouritism. I am happy that Mr Ramong is an oiled machine with his qualifications and experience will be able t improve the speed of services to the beneficiaries of the department”, said MEC Motsumi.

MEC Motsumi further emphasized that all temporary educators who are currently teaching in schools and occupying vacant substantive post should be immediately converted to permanent with immediate effect.
