New digital system to improve service delivery - Zille

Western Cape Premier Helen Zille on Tuesday said corrupt and non-performing officials would be closely monitored in the province.

The premier launched an IT-based Dashboard Management System on Tuesday, which would allow her to keep tabs on progress made on development projects in the Western Cape.

Zille said she believed the new monitoring system would also help in identifying and tracking delays and problems on the projects.

She said the technology would also allow her and her MECs to monitor service delivery performance of various government departments.

The premier said she hoped to involve the community in future.

“Ultimately we’re hoping to open this to the public. Especially where we’ve got major public projects, such as... housing delivery projects. So the public can measure the progress of any project and see where we are in that process, and also give us feedback around what is working and what isn’t,” said Zille.
