The Presidency has informed the Office of the Public Protector that President Cyril Ramaphosa has initiated remedial action in line with the report of the Public Protector on the appointment of National Treasury Director General Dondo Mogajane.
 
On 18 December 2018, the Public Protector issued a report titled "Report on the Investigation of Improper Conduct Regarding Mogajane's Application for the position of Director-General at National Treasury and his subsequent appointment to the same position by the National Treasury".
 
Mogajane was employed as the Director General of National Treasury, with effect from 8 June 2017, on a fixed-term contract of five years.

The Public Protector found that Mr Mogajane had failed to disclose a criminal record on the Z83 application form he completed for the position of Director-General at the National Treasury and that this failure constituted impropriety or dishonesty, and amounted to improper conduct.

The Public Protector recommended that, within 30 days of the report, the president should take appropriate action against Mogajane in terms of the Public Service Act for "blatantly and dishonestly" making false representation of material facts in his Z83 form.

The act directs that the president is responsible for disciplinary steps and the implementation of relevant sanctions against a head of department.
 
The act further enables the president to delegate to any minister any power conferred on the president, including the power to initiate disciplinary action against a Director-General as well as to effect the outcome thereof.
 
Consequently, Ramaphosa has informed the Public Protector in writing that he has requested Minister for Public Service and Administration Ayanda Dlodlo to study the report on Mogajane and advise on the steps the department will take to address the specific issues raised by the Public Protector, according to a statement issued by the Presidency on Monday.

The president has also in terms of the act, delegated to Minister of Higher Education and Training Naledi Pandor the power to initiate disciplinary action against Mogojane.
 
According to the Presidency, once Pandor has fulfilled her role, Ramaphosa has delegated to Minister of Finance Tito Mboweni the authority to implement the outcome of the disciplinary hearing, including, but not limited to, the implementation of the sanction pronounced by the chairperson of the hearing.
