"Manuel partly to blame for service delivery problems" Nehawu

The National Education Health and Allied Workers Union placed some of the blame for service delivery problems on the Minister in the Presidency, Trevor Manuel, after he raised concerns about the civil service this week.

Nehawu spokesperson, Sizwe Pamla says while Manuel raised some valid points about the need to improve service delivery and fighting corruption, he was not totally honest.

On Wednesday, Manuel said the National Development Plan would not get off the ground unless the public service sector was fixed.

He said he was concerned about the relationship between senior civil servants and politicians and said it was time for government to start taking responsibility for its actions, and to stop blaming apartheid.
